Preface. 



The following treatise on the Twelve Tissue Remedies con- 
tains all that Schiissler himself wrote on the subject, and em- 
bodies as well the whole published experience of the Homoeo- 
pathic school in their use, besides much original matter from 
some of our Homoeopathic practitioners now published for the 
first time. Our aim has been to give to the profession a com- 
plete work on the subject, because we recognize the great value 
and importance of the Tissue Remedies, and in doing this our 
work necessarily was one mostly of compilation and arrange- 
ment. Every available source from the whole of our journal- 
istic literature and Society proceedings has been made to pay 
tribute to us; and however imperfect, fragmentary and crude 
the present work is, we know that it is complete, so far as 
present circumstances will permit. 

We believe that the only hope for the future development of 
these magnificent remedies lies in their study, mainly accord- 
ing to the method of Homoeopathy ; that they should all be as 
carefully proved as Natrum mur. and Silicea already are, and 
that the results of such provings alone will furnish the most 
accurate indications for their therapeutical uses. Only by 
careful provings will the permanency of these remedies be 
secured, and they themselves be preserved from the possible 
fate of so many newly introduced remedies. 

Thorough and systematic proving of drugs on the healthy 
is the one true method for the development of our Materia 
Medica; but this, from its very excellence, is a thing of slow 
growth, and the temptation could not be resisted to seek other 
and shorter methods, always more or less questionable, but 
sometimes yielding admirable results. The most important of 



4 PREFACE. 

such deviations from the strictly classical method of proving 
on the healthy was the acceptance of Clinical Symptoms: used 
cautiously, this source can be of inestimable value, as much of 
our clinical experience proves. 

Why may not the same results follow, by accepting tenta- 
tively, and for the time, Schiissler's theories of the respective 
spheres of actions of his remedies and the indications based 
thereon, which, to say the least, are bold and often brilliant 
recommendations for their employment in disease? 

Here, in the absence of regular provings of them, we can 
avail ourselves of this source and enrich our Materia Medica 
with some remedies that will compare favorably with many 
polychrests. 

Whatever opposition there may be in our ranks to Schiiss- 
ler's methods, because it is not pure Homoeopathic practice, we 
believe would speedily disappear if all critics could join in 
proving and confirming these valuable remedies, introduced 
first to American Homoeopathy by our own Hering, who surely 
could not be accused of fathering and furthering anything 
absolutely mongrel and detrimental to the best interests of our 
school. 

We do not sympathize with the attempt of Schiissler and a 
few others to look upon the Tissue Remedies as being suffi- 
cient for all purposes — provings alone can verify this. For 
the present, we think, with Dr. J. C. Morgan, that Schiissler 
throws away a great and necessary complement to his Materia 
Medica in discarding all organic drugs, as Bellad.,Hyos., Acon. y 
etc., which really make the Tissue Remedies more valuable, 
acting as the opposite blade of the scissors ; without these they 
would often remain incomplete in curative action and might 
be blamed for the inevitable. We, therefore, have included in 
our study of the Materia Medica the Homoeopathic relation- 
ship, at present merely suggestive, but a department which, we 
hope, will be greatly enlarged at some future time. 

To those who, by kind encouragement and contributions of 
clinical cases and observations, have given us valuable assist- 
ance in the preparation of the present volume, we desire to.

Preface to the Second Edition. 



The present edition has been thoroughly revised and en- 
larged by the addition of all the facts relating to the Tissue 
Remedies that have accumulated for the past two years. In 
its present state, the book represents the complete presentation 
of the Biochemical Treatment of Disease by means of the 
Twelve Tissue Remedies. In order not to increase unnecessa- 
rily the bulk of the volume, a number of the clinical cases ©f 
the previous edition have been omitted, to make room for new 
matter and fresh clinical illustrations by the best authorities. 
The Materia Medica part of the work has been brought up to 
date by the incorporation of the results of late provings, and 
we feel indebted especially to Dr. H. C. Allen, of the Medical 
Advance, Hering's Guiding Symptoms, and Prof. T. F. Allen's 
magnificent work, the Handbook of Materia Medica, which 
include much of interest about these remedies. These Tissue 
Remedies are too precious to be used only on the pathological 
indications laid down by Schiissler: they all merit careful 
proving in order to obtain the finer and more distinctive 
points for their therapeutic application; this has been done 
with several, and will undoubtedly be carefully done with all. 
Not until then will the Twelve Tissue Remedies take their 
rightful position permanently in our Materia Medica, and 
prove to be polychrests of the highest order. 

We trust that this work, in its present revised form, will 
meet with as favorable a reception as was accorded to the first 
edition.

Preface to the Third Edition. 



The generous reception and treatment accorded by the pro- 
fession to the previous editions of this work rendered the 
preparation of a new edition a pleasant task. The whole 
work has practically been rewritten and considerably enlarged. 
Everything that Dr. Schiissler himself has written up to the 
publication of his latest, the eighteenth edition of his " Abge- 
kiirzte Therapie" is included, together with much clinical 
experience by the Homoeopathic profession, account of which 
is scattered throughout our journals and society transactions. 
The work is thus as complete as it can be at the present time 
regarding everything pertaining to the Biochemical treatment 
of disease and its relation to Homoeopathy. 

Our conception of the true place of the Tissue Remedies has 
separated us more and more with each new edition from that of 
their distinguished introducer. While we have abided by his 
first conception, and endeavored to further their development 
along the lines of Homoeopathy, Schiissler prefers now to look 
upon the Biochemic method as entirely distinct from Homoeo- 
pathy, and as an all-sufficient therapeutic procedure and chem- 
ical hygiene. Thus, while he relies solely on the chemico-phys- 
iological facts and theories as guides for the therapeutic applica- 
tion of his remedies, we, accepting and utilizing all these, add 
thereto the indications derived from provings — the only legiti- 
mate and permanent basis for drug selection in disease. On this 
account, Dr. Schiissler notwithstanding, we believe that careful 
provings of these remedies in all potencies should be made by 
our school. To some extent this has been done since the pub- 
lication of our second edition, notably of Kali phos., an excellent 
account of which has been published by Prof. H. C. Allen,

M. D., in the Medical Advance, the salient features of which 
are included in our account of that remedy. 

In conclusion we wish again to thank the friends who have 
so kindly and disinterestedly helped the preparation of the 
present volume by furnishing us with clinical material and 
observations.

Introduction to the Theory and General Sketch 
of the Twelve Tissue Remedies. 



HISTORY OF THE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Samuel Hahnemann, whose genius divined the great im- 
portance of the inorganic cell salts as remedial agents of a high 
order, was also the first man who began thorough investigation 
into their pathogenetic effects and therapeutic uses. It was his 
provings of Lime and Salt and Potash that prepared the way 
for the rest of the Tissue Remedies, that showed what vast 
store-houses of medicinal force these inorganic, and often in 
their crude state inert, substances were; he it was who first 
pointed out how these forces could be unlocked and directed 
for therapeutic purposes. Later, in 1832, attention was called 
in a paper published in Stapf 's Archiv to the great importance 
as remedies of all the "essential component parts of the human 
body," and again, in the same journal, in 1846: "All constitu- 
ents of the human body principally act on those organs wherein 
they have a function. All fulfill their functions when they are 
the cause of symptoms." 

Later still, we find Grauvogl, in his Text-Book, taking some 
notice of these remarks and amplifying them ; but it remained 
for Dr. Schiissler, of Oldenburg, Germany, to develop these 
suggestions and make the idea forshadowed in them the basis 
of a "new system." In March, 1873, an article, entitled " A 
Shortened Homoeopathic Therapeutics" from his pen, was pub- 
lished in a German Homoeopathic journal, in which he says: 
"About a year ago I endeavored to discover by experiments on 
the sick if it were not possible to heal them, provided their 



14 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

diseases were curable at all, with those substances that are the 
natural, i. e., the physiological function-remedies." Of this no 
special notice seems to have been taken, until, five months 
subsequently, Dr. Lorbacher, of Leipzig, came out in the same 
journal with some critical considerations of it. This was fol- 
lowed by a reply from Schussler, which ran through seven 
numbers, giving a more detailed account of this "Abridged 
System of Homoeopathic Therapeutics," the important features 
of which are incorporated in this work. 

The original communication from Schussler to the German 
journal was translated into English, and published first in the 
Medical Investigator, May, 1873, an0 ^ soon afterwards in a small 
work, by Dr. C. Hering, entitled the "Twelve Tissue Remedies," 
"recommended for investigation" by this great teacher of our 
school. Several editions w T ere published in rapid succession, 
from which this historical sketch is mainly derived, and follow- 
ing these appeared the translation of the twefth German edi- 
tion, by J. T. O'Connor, M. D., and one by M. Docetti Walker, 
considerably enlarged by the addition of an appendix populariz- 
ing the Biochemic Method. Dr. Schussler has just published 
the 1 8th German edition, in which the application of several 
of the remedies has been greatly enlarged and considerable new 
matter added, all of which is incorporated in this work. 

Notwithstanding that Dr. Schussler denies in the later edi- 
tions of his w T ork all connection with Homoeopathy, and insists 
that his method is not based upon the Homoeopathic law of 
cure, but upon physiologico-chemical processes that take place 
within the organism, it is nevertheless true that the present 
wide adoption of the Tissue Remedies in the treatment of disease 
is the fruit of the seed sown on Homoeopathic ground as early 
as 1832, although its development was slow until Schussler 
gave it a wonderful impetus by bringing physiological and 
pathological facts to bear on his therapeutic procedure. 

GENERAL THEORY. 

The idea upon which the Biochemic method is based is the 
physiological fact that both the structure and vitality of the 



THK HUMAN ORGANISM. 1 5 

organs of the bod}' are dependent upon certain necessary 
quantities and apportionment of its inorganic constituents, 
which are those that remain after combustion of the tissues — 
its ashes. 

These are, in a very real sense, the material basis of the 
organs and tissues of the body, and are absolutely essential to 
their integrity of structure and functional activity. According 
to Schiissler's theory, any disturbance in the molecular motion 
of these cell salts in living tissues constitutes disease, which can 
be rectified and the requisite equilibrium re-established by 
administering the same mineral salts in small quantities. This 
is supposed to be brought about by virtue of the operation of 
chemical affinity in the domain of histology ; and hence this 
therapeutic procedure is styled by Schiissler the Biochemic 
method, and stress is laid on the fact that it is in supposed 
harmony with well-known facts and laws in physiological 
chemistry and allied sciences. 

THE CONSTITUENTS OF THE HUMAN ORGANISM. 

Blood consists of water, sugar, fat, albuminous substances, 
chloride of sodium, chloride of potash, fluoride of lime, silica, 
iron, lime, magnesia, soda and potash. The latter are com- 
bined with phosphoric, carbonic and sulphuric acids. 

The salts of soda predominate in the blood plasma, while 
those of potash are found especially in the blood corpuscles. 
Sugar, fat and the albuminous substances are the so-called 
organic components of the blood, while the above-named salts 
constitute its inorganic components. Sugar and fat are com- 
pounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, the albuminous sub- 
stances contain in addition sulphur and nitrogen. 

Sulphur, carbon and phosphorus are not present within the 
organism in a free state, but combined with organic substances. 

Sulphur and carbon are found in the albumen, carbon in 
the carbo-hydrates like sugar, starch and in the products of 
metamorphosis of organic substances. Phosphorus is contained 
in lecithin and in the nuclei. The sulphur of the albumen is 



1 6 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

oxidized by the oxygen of the inspired air, forming sulphuric 
acid which combines with the bases of the carbonates, forming 
sulphates and setting free carbonic acid. 

TISSUE-BUILDING. 

Blood, containing the material for every tissue and cell of 
the body, furnishes nutriment for every organ, enabling it to 
perform its individual function ; thus it supplies every possible 
physiological want in the animal economy. 

It does this by the transudation of a portion of its plasma 
into the surrounding tissues through the capillary walls, by 
which the losses sustained by the cells on account of tissue 
metamorphosis are made good. According to modern biologi- 
cal views, this pabulum is a material sid generis, called irritable 
matter or protoplasm, and is the only living matter, and is 
universally diffused throughout the organism, of which it con- 
stitutes about one-fifth, the remaining four-fifths being organized 
and relatively, therefore, dead matter. In its physical character 
it is nitrogenous, pulpy, structureless, semi-fluid, translucent, 
homogeneous, similar to that of the ganglionic nerves and to 
the gray, nervous matter. In this transuded fluid appear fine 
granules, which unite to form germs, from which, again, cells 
develop. By the union of these cells are formed the tissues of 
every kind needed for the upbuilding of the whole organism. 
Two kinds of substances are needed in this process of tissue- 
building, and both are found in the blood — namely, the organic 
and the inorganic constituents. Among the former organic 
constituents are the sugar, fat and albuminous substances of 
the blood, serving as the physical basis of the tissues, while 
the water and salts — namely, potash, lime, silica, iron, magne- 
sium and sodium — are the inorganic substances, which are 
believed to determine the particular kind of cell to be built up. 
Other salts may from time to time be found, but the fore- 
going, however, embrace all which are constantly present. 
Wherever, then, in the animal organism, new cells are to be 
generated and formed, there must be present, in sufficient quan- 



FORxMATION OF TISSUE CELLS. 1 7 

tity and proper relation, both these organic and inorganic sub- 
stances. By their presence in the blood, all the organs, viscera 
and tissues in the body are formed, fixed and made permanent 
in their functions, and a disturbance here causes disturbed 
function. 



INORGANIC CONSTITUENTS OF CELLS. 

The inorganic materials of nerve-cells are Magnes. phos., 
Kali phos., Natrum and Ferrum. Muscle-cells contain the 
same, with the addition of Kali mur. Connective tissue-cells 
have for their specific substance Silicea, while that of the elastic 
tisssue-cells is probably Calc. fluor. In bone-cells we have Calc. 
fluor. and Magnes. phos. and a large proportion of Calc. phos. 
This latter is found in small quantities in the cells of muscle, 
nerve, brain and connective tissue. Cartilage and mucous cells 
have for their specifie inorganic material Natr. mur., which is 
found also in all solid and fluid parts of the body. Hair and 
the crystalline lens contain, among other inorganic substances, 
also Ferrum. The carbonates, as such, are, according to Mole- 
schott, without any influence in the process of cell-formation. 

FORMATION OF TISSUE CELLS. 

The oxygen of the air, upon reaching the tissues through 
the blood by means of the respiration, acts upon the organic 
substances which are to enter in the formation of new cells. 
The products of this transformation are the organic materials 
which form the physical basis of muscle, nerve, connective 
tissue and mucous substance. None of these substances are 
present as such in the blood, but are formed within the tissues 
from the albumen. With them, the inorganic salts form com- 
binations by virtue of chemical affinities, and thus new cells 
are formed. With the formation of new cells there occurs at 
the same time a destruction of the old ones, resulting from the 
action of oxygen on the organic substances forming the basis 



1 8 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

of these cells. This oxidation has, as a consequence, a break- 
ing down of the cells themselves. 

The ultimate results of this combustion of the organic sub- 
stances are the formation of urea, uric, sulphuric, phosphoric, 
lactic and carbonic acids, and also water. Some intermediate 
members of the series, as, for instance, hypoxanthin, acetic and 
butyric acids, etc., need not be mentioned with this therapeu- 
tical method, because, so far as our present knowledge of them 
extends, they play a very subordinate role. Urea, uric acid and 
sulphuric acid are the result of the oxidation of the albuminous 
substances, while phosphoric acid is produced by the oxidation 
of lecithin contained in the nervous tissue, brain, spinal cord 
and blood corpuscles. Lactic acid results from the fermentation 
of milk-sugar, and finally breaks down into carbonic acid and 
water. 

The final products of the oxidation of the organic substances 
are urea, carbonic acid and water. These, together with the 
salts set free, leave the tissues, and thereby give place to less 
fully oxidized organic bodies, which in turn finally undergo the 
same metamorphosis. 

The products of this retrograde tissue change are conveyed 
through the lymphatics, the connective tissue and the veins, 
to the gall-bladder, lungs, kidneys, bladder and skin, and are 
thereby removed from the organism with the excretions, such 
as the urine, perspiration, faeces, etc. 

The importance and dignity of the function of the connective 
tissue were established after the reasearches of Virchow and 
Von Recklinghausen led to a closer study and demonstrated its 
fertile activity. That which formerly seemed only intended as 
a filling in or protective covering appears now as the matrix, 
in which the minute capillaries carry the plasma from the blood 
to the tissues and return the same to the blood vessels ; at the 
same time it serves as one of the most important breeding 
places of young cells, which are capable of developing out of 
the embryonic latent forms to the most differentiated structure 
of the body. 



HEALTH AND DISEASE. 1 9 

HEALTH AND DISEASE. 

Health may be considered to be the state characterized by 
normal cell metamorphosis ; thus, when by means of digestion 
of food and drink, recompense is made to the blood for the 
losses it sustains by furnishing nutritive material to the tissues, 
this compensation is made in requisite quantities and in proper 
places, and no disturbance of the motion of the molecules 
occurs. Under these conditions alone will the building of new 
cells and the destruction of old ones proceed normally, and the 
elimination of useless materials be furthered. 

Disease is the result of a disturbance of the molecular motion 
of one of the inorganic tissue salts. The cure consists in the 
restoration of the equilibrium of the molecular motion by fur- 
nishing a minimal dose of the same inorganic substance, since 
the molecules of the material thus used remedially fill the gap 
in the chain of molecules of the affected cell or tissue salt. 

Virchow says that disease is an altered state of the cell, and 
hence the normal state of the cell constitutes health. The con- 
stitution of the cell is determined by the composition of its 
nutritive environment exactly as a plant thrives according to 
the quality of soil around its roots. 

In agricultural chemistry we add as fertilizer that element 
most lacking in the soil. But three essential substances used 
as fertilizers are required, namely, ammonia, phosphate of lime 
or potash. The other substances needful for plant nutrition 
are found in sufficient quantities in the soil. The same law of 
supplying a lack applies to biochemical remedies ; for instance, 
take the following example : 

A child suffering with rickets shows a lack of phosphate of 
lime in the bones due to a disturbed molecular motion of the 
molecules of this salt. The quantity of phosphate of lime 
intended for the bones, but failing to reach its goal, would 
accumulate within the blood were it not excreted by the urine, 
for it is the office of the kidneys to maintain the proper compo- 
sition of the blood, and therefore to cast out every foreign sub- 
stance or surplus supply of any one constituent. Now after 



20 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

the normal molecular motion of the phosphate of lime molecules 
is again established within the involved nutritive soil by 
administering small doses of the same salt, the surplus can 
again enter the general circulation and the cure of the rachitis 
be brought about. 

Every normal cell has the faculty of absorbing or rejecting 
certain substances. This property is diminished or suspended 
when the cell has suffered a loss in one of its salts in consequence 
of any irritation. As soon as this deficiency is made good by 
a supply of a homogeneous material from the immediate nutri- 
tive soil, the equilibrium is re-established. But if the supply 
is not offered spontaneously, it is to be assumed that the need- 
ful salt is lacking in quantity, or, on the other hand, that the 
diseased cells have suffered a physical alteration besides, which 
precludes the entrance of the required tissue salt. In such a 
case the salt must be offered in a more diluted state, that is, a 
higher trituration. 

If the altered cells regain their integrity by recovering their 
loss, they can again perform their normal functions, and bring 
about the removal by chemical processes of morbid products, 
exudations, etc. The biochemical therapeutics aids nature in 
her efforts of cure by supplying the natural remedies lacking 
in certain parts, that is, the inorganic cell-salts, and in this way 
corrects abnormal states of physiological chemistry. 

The aim of biochemistry is to cover a deficiency directly. 
All other methods of cure reach this goal indirectly, when they 
make use of remedial agents heterogeneous to the constituents 
of the human organism. 

DOSE, OR QUANTITY, OF TISSUE SALT REQUIRED 

TO RE-ESTABLISH NORMAL CELL 

EQUILIBRIUM. 

Biochemic remedies are administered in minimal doses. 

The curative virtue of small doses may be deducted from the 
following facts : 

Throughout nature, atoms and groups of atoms or molecules 
form the basis of her operations. The growth of animals and 



TISSUE SALT. 21 

plants is the accretion of new atoms or groups of atoms to 
the existing mass of molecules. 

In view of the fact of the action of light, itself imponderable, 
causing molecular movements in living plants by which car- 
bonic acid is decomposed into carbon and oxygen, and again 
the action of light-on the photographic plate and retina of the 
eye, it seems impossible of contradiction that infinitely small 
imponderable particles of matter can act upon the living body. 
The use of small doses in biochemical treatment is a chemico- 
physiological necessity. For instance, it is desired to have 
Glauber's salt reach the blood. It cannot be done by giving it 
in a concentrated solution. Only the intestinal canal is affected 
thereby, producing a watery diarrhoea in which the salt is cast 
out from the organism. But a diluted solution of this salt 
(Natrum sulph.) will enter the blood and intercellular fluids 
from the mouth and oesophagus ; and by virtue of its hygro- 
metric property will induce passage of an excess of water in the 
tissues into the venous blood, and an increase of urinary secre- 
tion. 

Every biochemic remedy must be sufficiently diluted to avoid 
destroying the function of healthy cells, and to restore disturbed 
function wherever present. 

In the healthy organism, animal or vegetable, the salts are 
found in solution, corresponding to the third, fourth and fifth 
decimal dilution of medicines. 

The following table of analysis of blood cells in relation to 
the human organism will show this : 

In 1,000 grammes of blood cells the amount of inorganic 
substances are, according to Bunge's " Text-book of Physiologi- 
cal and Pathological Chemistry," as follows: 

Iron 0.998 

Kali sulph 0.132 

Kali mur 3-079 

Kali phos 2.343 

Natrum phos 0-633 

Natrum 0.344 

Calc. phos. . 0.094 

Magnes. phos 0.060 



22 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

In 1,000 grammes of intercellular fluid (plasma) the propor- 
tion of inorganic substances is the following: 

Kali sulph 0.281 

Kali mur o 359 

Natrum mur 5-545 

Natrum phos 0.271 

Natrum 1.532 

Calcar phos 0.298 

Magnes. phos 0.218 

Natrum sulph., Fluor, and Silica, traces. 

Compare with these analyses that of milk. Of this 1 litre 
or 1,000 grammes, contains 

Kali 0.780 

Natrum 0.230 

Calcarea 0.330 

Magnesia 0.060 

Iron 0.004 

Phosphoric acid 0.470 

Chlor 0.440 

Fluor and Silica traces. 

One litre (a little over a quart) suffices for the daily food of 
an infant weighing about 6 kilogrammes (13^ pounds). 

Now if 6 centigrammes (3-5 of a grain) of magnesia are suffi- 
cient to cover the needful daily supply of magnesia for an 
infant, how minute must be the dose of magnesia to be given 
for a neuralgia which is caused by an inconceivably small defi- 
ciency of this salt in a minute portion of the nerve tissue. 

The mineral contents of one cell are infinitely small. Accord- 
ing to the calculations of C. Schmidt, the physiologist, each 
blood corpuscle contains about one-billionth part of a gramme 
of Kali mur. This corresponds to the twelfth decimal tritura- 
tion. 

Similarly active in very small doses are some of the remedies 
used by the old school; for instance, corrosive sublimate, of 
which Prof. Hugo Schulz says that a solution of 1-600,000 to 
1-800,000 brings about quite powerful fermentation, one far 
above the normal, in a grape sugar solution to which yeast has 
been added. (See Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift, Nov. 4, 
1889.) 

The inorganic substances which serve plants for nutrition 



TISSUE SALT. 23 

are taken up by them only in minimal quantities. Liebig, in 
his chemical letters observes that the strongest manure of earthy 
phosphates in a coarse powder cannot be compared in its action 
with a much smaller quantity finely divided, which by its sub- 
division can be diffused throughout the soil. Each rootlet 
requires but a small quantity of nourishment where it is in 
contact with the soil, but for its functional activity and existence 
it is requisite that this minimum be present just at that spot. 
The insoluble mineral substances found in the soil must be dis- 
solved by the acid juices of the fibres of the root before they 
can reach the vegetable organism. 

A mineral, when it reaches the human stomach, is acted upon 
by the muriatic acid contained in the gastric juice. If this is 
a salt of iron, the chloride will be formed. Now if it is desira- 
ble to administer the phosphate of iron for therapeutic purposes, 
it must be kept out of the stomach. For this purpose a mini- 
mal dose is required — the medicine must be diluted to such a 
degree that its molecules may penetrate the epithelium of the 
mouth, pharynx, oesophagus and reach the blood through the 
capillary walls. Those substances that are insoluble in water 
must be triturated to the sixth decimal potency at least ; those 
soluble in water may penetrate the epithelial cells in lower 
dilutions. 

In some of the mineral waters, the mineral salts are present 
only in quantities corresponding to the 6th and 8th decimal 
dilutions ; thus in the waters of Rilchingen Magnesia phosph. 
is present only in the 8th, Kali mur. in the 5th and Silicea in 
the 6th dilution. 

Dr. Behneke, in his balneological letters, correctly observes 
that relative proportion and the degree of concentration in 
which the salt is present in the mineral water is of great im- 
portance. Many of the most famous springs owe their good 
results to the fact that the curative constituents are present 
only in greatly diluted states, and that the best results are fre- 
quently obtained from doses usually considered very minute. 

The adaptability of minimal doses to the end in view is in 
entire harmony with physiological and chemical facts, as may 



24 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

be seen from the following words of Professor Valentin, the 
well-known physiologist : 

"Nature works everywhere with an infinite number of small 
magnitudes, which, whether in homogeneous or heterogeneous 
aggregations, can only be perceived by our relatively obtuse 
organs of sense when in definite masses. The smallest picture 
which our eyes perceive proceeds from millions of waves of 
light ; a granule of salt that we are hardly able to taste contains 
myriads of groups of atoms which no sentient eye will ever view. n 

This fact is also illustrated by the well-known experiments 
of Professors Kirchoff and Bunsen with common salt by taking 
three milligrammes (less than 20 of a grain), which are blown 
into a room containing 60 cubic metres of air. In a few min- 
utes sodium lines appear in a flame standing at a considerable 
distance, which can be distinguished by the unaided eye. 

Modern science gives numerous illustrations of the power of 
infinitesimal quantities. We will refer only to very few : one 
is by that most excellent observer, Darwin. In his work on 
Insectivorous Plants he says: "It is an astonishing fact * * * * 
that so inconceivably minute a quantity as 1-20,000,000 of a 
grain" [a much smaller quantity than the 6th decimal tritu- 
ration, the usual prescribed strength of the Tissue Remedies] 
"of ammonia phosphate should induce changes in a gland, 
sufficient to cause a motor impulse to be sent down the whole 
length of the tentacle, this impulse exciting movements 
through an angle of about 180 ." 

Now, although the presence of common salt can be perceived 
by the nerves of taste, even if the crude salt touch the periph- 
eral ends of these nerves, still in such a crude and undiluted 
form, it is questionable whether the salt can enter and be taken 
up by the ducts of the neurilemma. For this purpose it seems 
much more reasonable to suppose that the degree of attenua- 
tion attained by the triturations is more appropriate to meet 
the want of the required molecules of salt. 

Atropin, even when diluted more than a million-fold, pro- 
duces, according to Reuter, dilatation of the pupil in man and 
the lower warm-blooded animals. 



PREPARATION AND DOSE. 25; 

A litre (a little more than a quart) of milk contains about 
four milligrammes ( ' of a grain) of iron, and a child nourished 
upon milk only receives therewith less than one milligramme 
or 65 of a grain of iron at a dose. If four milligrammes repre- 
sent the daily supply of iron contributed to the nourishment 
and growth of the child (for it is distributed to all the iron- 
bearing cells of the organism), how small should be the dose, 
therapeutically considered, of a salt of iron given to allay a 
molecular disturbance occurring in a small cell territory, such 
a disturbance, for instance, as determines the hypersemia of 
irritation? 

The amount of fluorine contained in milk has, as yet, not 
been quantitatively determined ; the amount of it in the organ- 
ism is much less than that of iron. It may be assumed that 
the amount of fluorine contained in milk is represented by a 
tenth of milligramme ; therefore, one milligramme of calcium 
fluoride, pro dost, if prescribed as a remedy, would be a large 
dose. 

The dose of a remedy prescribed according to chemical thera- 
peutics had better be too small than too large ; for if too small 
a repetition of it will attain the desired end, but if too large it 
will fail to accomplish the purpose in view. 

Large doses of iron, given to cure chlorosis, or disorder ot 
the stomach, pass off unused with the faeces, and in most cases 
leave the disease unaffected. 

Hydrochloric acid, when diluted a thousand-fold with water , 
dissolves with ease at the temperature of the body fibrin and 
gluten, and this solvent power does not increase, but dimin- 
ishes, if the proportion of acid in the dilution be increased. — 
Liebig^s Chemical Letters, vol. ii, p. 119. 

PREPARATION AND DOSE. 

The Tissue Remedies are prepared for therapeutic purposes/ 
like all Homoeopathic remedies, according to the decimal or 
centesimal scale in trituration or solution. The crude, chemi- 
cally pure article is taken and triturated with sugar of 



26 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

milk, one part of the drug to nine parts of sugar of milk, for 
at least one hour. This gives the first decimal trituration, each 
grain containing one-tenth of a grain of the cell salt triturated. 
One part of this first decimal trituration is then used, and 
other nine parts of sugar of milk added and again triturated 
one hour, which gives the second decimal trituration, and is 
equivalent to the first centesimal trituration, each grain contain- 
ing one-hundredth of the triturated cell salt. But experience 
has shown, as may be seen, too, from the illustrations above 
that even this minute subdivision is too gross for many pur- 
poses in the animal economy, and so this triturating and sub- 
dividing process has been kept up to the sixth, twelfth and 
even higher preparations. 



SCHUSSLER'S OWN PROCEDURE. 

At first Schiissler began with the sixth centesimal or twelfth 
decimal trituration ; but he, very early in his practice, adopted 
the sixth decimal preparation as the one most generally useful. 
Lately the lower triturations, of Potassium and Sodium salts 
the third decimal, of others the fourth and fifth, have been 
productive of equally good results. In the last German edition 
of his " Abgekitrzte Therapie" he says on this point: "In my 
practice I employ on the average the sixth decimal trituration. 
In acute diseases, a dose consisting of a powder size of a pea, 
should be given every hour or two ; in chronic diseases 3 or 4 
times daily. The powder may be given dry on the tongue, 
or dissolved in a spoonful of water." 

We, ourselves, have had the most satisfactory results from 
the sixth decimal trituration, rarely going higher, at times 
lower, and generally we prefer to give the selected remedy in 
solution by dissolving a good-sized powder in a tumbler, half 
full of water, and administering teaspoonful doses every hour 
or two. 

If liquid solutions are used, a few drops may be dissolved in 
water, or pellets or disks may be saturated and given in that 
way. The latter is especially to be recommended with children. 



BIOCHKMIC TREATMENT. 2J 

• FREQUENCY OF DOSES. 

In acute cases, a dose every hour or two ; in severe, painful 
affections, a dose every ten to fifteen minutes ; in chronic affec- 
tions, one to four doses daily. 

In suitable cases the external use of the remedies is indicated 
and has been found useful. For this purpose the second or 
third and even the sixth trituration may be used. 

In determining the dose of a biochemic remedy, the amount of 
the morbid product involved is no important factor. For in- 
stance, a very small deficiency of Natnim mur. in the cells of the 
epithelial layer of a serous sac may give rise to a massive serous 
exudation ; and as minute supply of Natnim mur. correspond- 
ing to the deficiency may bring about a complete resorption 
of the exudation. 

Guided by the relative quantities of the cell salts, each practi- 
tioner can select the proper dose of the indicated biochemic 
remedy. 

One milligramme (i-ioo grain === to the 2d decimal tritura- 
tion) of a substance is estimated to contain 16 trillions of mol- 
ecules. According to this estimate, the 6th decimal trituration 
of it would contain about 16 billions ; this quantity is more than 
sufficient to restore disturbed molecular motions to the normal. 

It may be urged as an objection that the molecules of a given 
salt administered as a medicine would unite with their like 
contained in the blood, and thus render illusory any curative 
attempt. But this combination cannot take place simply 
because the carbonic acid present in the blood forms an isolat- 
ing medium of the salts. 



RELATIONS OF THE BIOCHEMIC TO THE HOMCE- 
OPATHIC TREATMENT. 

Often the question has been asked, "Is Schusslerism Homoe- 
opathy?" and it has often been answered in the affirmative as 
in the negative. Schiissler himself claims that it is not in any 



28 



THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 



way related to Homoeopathy, and puts Biochemistry forward 
with an evident desire to become the founder of a new system 
of medicine. 

He claims with others that the Tissue Remedies act by sup- 
plying deficiencies. This idea, taken literally, seems erroneous ; 
for example, in a disturbance of the molecules of Natr. mur. 
there is not necessarily a deficiency in the amount of Natr. mur. 
in the body, but rather a lack of continuity in the arrangement 
of the existing molecules in the body. This salt given as a. 
remedy does not supply a lack or deficiency of salt, as the 
quantity given is usually too infinitesimal for that purpose, and 
were this the case it might be given in quantity with food and 
drink with the desired effect. The deficiency that it does 
supply in minimal doses is in the arrangement of the equilib- 
rium of the chain of the Natr. mur. molecules in the affected 
tissues as before explained, thus causing them to perform their 
function properly ; for, since the deficit is a molecular one, the 
supply must also be molecular. 

This idea of the action of remedies is not new, as any one 
who has carefully perused the works of that astute observer, 
Von Grauvogl, can testify. Many of Schiissler's ideas may be 
seen foreshadowed in Grauvogl and Hering. 

It has always been a matter of dispute as to how our 
Homoeopathic remedies act. The question, embracing as it 
does that of infinitesimal doses, is one of the most vital for 
Homoeopathy, and one that even at this day exposes us to the 
ridicule of our old-school brethren. 

We advance the hypothesis that Homoeopathy and Bio- 
chemistry are one and the same; that Biochemistry is a 
rational explanation of the Homoeopathic action as contained 
in that law of Hahnemann, Similia Similibus Curantur ! 

The following table shows, so far as analyses have been 
made, that the Twelve Tissue salts are constituent of many 
of our well known and proved remedies of the vegetable king- 
dom :

The figures in the above table indicate the percentage. 

This table is a very incomplete one, as analyses have only 
been made of comparatively few of the remedies of the animal 
.and vegetable kingdoms that we nse ; and many of these anal- 
yses have been made so crudely as only to note the presence of 
these salts in them, not giving their proportions. To do this 
-accurately would entail much time and expense. Of course 
this, to the iUlopath, is a question of no moment whatever ; but 
to us, as Homoeopaths, who deal with infinitesimals, such an 
^enormous quantity as 18.2 per cent, of Silicea occurring in 
Equisetitm; 6 per cent, of potash and sodium salts occurring 
in Ha?nam.; 4 per cent, of Silicea in Cimicif.; 3 per cent, of 
Magnes. phos. in Coloc, as well as other inorganic constituents 
in varying quantities, becomes a matter of vital importance. 



30 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Could we have an exact quantitative and proportionate analysis 
of any one drug from the animal or vegetable kingdom, we 
could then dissect its symptoms and tell which belonged to one 
tissue salt and which to another ; and it is highly probable that 
we, by this means, could easily explain why the symptoms of one 
drug: are so often found under the pathogenesis of another, why 
one is characteristic in one drug: and only generic in another, when, 
indeed, it may not rightly belong to either, but to an inorganic 
tissue salt, a constituent of each drug. 

Perhaps the drug ot which as complete an analysis has been 
made as of any is Phytolacca decandra. After evaporation and 
incineration, which remove the organic constituents, there 
remain 8.4 per cent, of the inorganic; of these, 6.8 per cent, 
are soluble and consist mostly of the salts of potash, while the 
insoluble remainder, 1.6 per cent., consists of calcium, iron and 
silica. If we compare the pathogenesis of Phytol. with the 
biochemical application of these salts, we shall see a striking 
and significant analogy. As the largest quantity of the inor- 
ganic salts therein contained is potash, we shall find that more 
symptoms of Phytol. correspond to the Kalis, while fewer symp- 
toms correspond to the calcium, iron and silica. The following 
table illustrates this:

,32 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Were the analysis quantitatively correct, we should probably 
find some Natr. mur., as one of the prominent symptoms of 
Phytol. is acrid, watery discharge from the nose. 

This would explain why we have different sets of symptoms 
under one Homoeopathic drug, appearing to antagonize each 
•other — each is produced by a different tissue salt. 

This much for the vegetable and animal kingdom, substances 
that can be reduced by analysis to elementary bodies. In the 
mineral kingdom the action is somewhat different. Nothing 
need be said of such remedies as are compounds of sulphur and 
phosphorus, as they derive their medicinal power by combina- 
tions which form tissue salts. The carbonates become trans- 
formed into the phosphates; this disposes of such drugs as 
Kali car b., Calc. carb., Magnes. carb., etc. 

There only remain the minerals, such as Aurum, Platinum, 
Argentum, etc. These in a crude state are acknowledged inert, 
and we triturate them to develop their power. In the crude 
state they do not appear to be materially changed by any of 
the organic acids of the body. When we finally divide these 
they still remain the same, but a new power has been de- 
veloped in them, a catalytic power. 

Examples of catalytic power are, unfortunately, very few. Of 
the known ones is the following : 

Plantinum in mass produces no change — no combination of 
•oxygen and hydrogen — as it will do, as chemistry teaches us, 
when it is finely divided, without being changed itself. 

This is catalysis, wherein one body produces changes in 
another without itself being changed. The wherefore of this 
action is not known, but it still remains a fact. Catalysis is 
contact action, and by this contact action, mineral drugs act 
inert in the crude state ; by trituration a contact action is devel- 
oped, which causes changes, and when given to the healthy 
produces symptoms. 

This rationally explains how inert substances acquire by 
subdivision (trituration) medicinal properties. This has long 
been a stumbling-block to allopathic comprehension of Ho- 
moeopathy. 



BIOCHEMIC TREATMENT. 33 

Do we not when we prove a drug — that is, administer it to 
the healthy to produce symptoms — and nearly all our Homoeo- 
pathic provings are made, more or less, with the potentized 
drug, which process also potentizes the inorganic salts therein 
contained — do we not produce a disturbance in the molecular 
equilibrium of the tissue salts contained in the drug given? 
For example : When we give Phytol. to prove it, do we not, 
by virtue of 6.8 per cent, of potash salts it contains, cause a 
molecular disturbance of these salts, which would not occur 
were they given in so crude a form as not to be taken up by the 
ducts of the neurilemma of the nerves of taste, etc.? 

This disturbance is only to be corrected when arising from 
disease by giving Phytol. in potency, the potash salts in it 
being the part which gives it its curative power. 

This view by no means takes away the fact that each drug is 
an entity, to be proved as a whole. 

But these very salts in certain proportions are its essential 
substratum, whose presence is necessary to fix, determine and 
embody the inner essence of the drug ; and it is a question to be 
decided whether we could obtain the same results by giving 
the inorganic salt constituents of a drug as by giving the drug 
itself. It seems to us, were it possible, that the former would 
be a more elementary Homoeopathy, and this an indirect Bio- 
chemistry. 

Schussler, in his last German edition, admits this and says 
that disturbed molecular motion of inorganic cell salts showing 
itself as disease is rectified by Biochemistry directly by the ad- 
ministration of homogeneous substances, whereas it is rectified 
by Homoeopathy indirectly by the administration of hetero- 
geneous substances. 



PART II. 

Materia Medica of the Twelve Tissue Remedies, 



CALCAREA FLUORICA. 

Synonyms. — Calcii Fluoridum. Calcium Fluoride. Calcarea 
Fluorata. 

Common Name. — Fluor Spar. Fluoride of Lime. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Ca. F 2 . Specific gravity of 
•crystals, 3.4. It contains 58.21 parts of calcium. It occurs in 
nature in mineral nuor spar ; it is beautifully crystalline, crystal- 
lizing in various colors and in cubical or octathedral form. It 
is insoluble in water, but is decomposed by sulphuric acid 
generating hydrofluoric acid. 

Preparation. — Selected pieces of crystal nuor spar are pre- 
pared by trituration, as directed under Class VII, American 
Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Calc. finor. is found in the 
surface of the bones and in the enamel of the teeth. It is also a 
constituent of the elastic fibres and of epidermis. Elastic fibres 
are found in the skin, in the connective tissue, and in the 
vascular walls. 

A disturbance of the equilibrium of the molecules of Calc. 
fluor. causes a continued dilatation, or chronically relaxed con- 
dition, of the implicated fibres. If the elastic fibres of any 
portion of the vessels of the connective tissue or of the lym- 
phatic system have arrived at such a condition of relaxation, 
the absorption of a solid exudation in such a part cannot take 
place. In consequence, induration of the part sets in. When 
.the elastic fibres of the blood vessels suffer a disturbance of the 



36 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

molecules of Calc. fluor., such, pathological enlargements of 
blood vessels take place, which make their appearance as hem- 
orrhoidal tumors, varicose and enlarged veins and vascular 
tumors, and indurated glands. 

Loss of Calcar. fluor. in the system is thus seen to be fol- 
lowed by : 

1. A hard, knotty exudation on the surface of a bone. 

2. A relaxation of the elastic fibres, hence dilatation of ves- 
sels, relaxation and displacements of the uterus, relaxation of 
the abdominal walls, hence "hanging belly," hemorrhage of 
womb; all absence of after pains. 

3. Exudation of Keratin from the cells of the epidermis. 
(Keratin is contained in the skin, hair and nails.) The exuda- 
tion dries readily and forms an adhering crust. Frequently 
found in the palms of the hands, which, through labor, form 
fissures and cracks. 

In regard to the resorption of induration, two possibilities 
are to be thought of: 

(a) The elastic fibres near the induration have lost their func- 
tional ability on account of the pressure exerted. Molecules of 
Calcar. fluor. administered restore their functional integrity 
and thus are enabled to throw off the exudation, which will 
then be absorbed by the lymphatic vessels. 

(b) By means of the volumetric force of Carbonic acid con- 
tained in the blood a part of the Fluorine is split off the 
Fluoride of lime, which combines with nascent Hydrogen, form- 
ing Hydrofluoric acid, which gradually dissolves the molecules 
of the morbid product to be taken up by the lymphatics. The 
part played by the Carbonic acid can be assumed by Sulphuric 
acid as well. The latter is formed during the oxidation of 
albuminoids. 

In a similar manner, as explained under b } it is possible for 
Calcar. fluor. to bring about solution of a laryngeal croupous 
or diphtheritic exudation. 

General Action. — Diseases having their seat in the substance 
forming the surface of bone, enamel of the teeth, and part of 
all elastic fibres, whether of the skin, the connective tissues, or 



CALCAREA FUJORICA. 37 

the walls of the blood vessels, etc. Thus : all ailments which 
can be traced to relaxed conditions of any of the elastic fibres,

Skin. — Chaps and cracks of the skin. Fissures or cracks in 
the palms of the hands or hard skin. Fissure of the anus. Sup- 
purations with callous, hard edges. Whitlow, gathered finger. 
Occasional erysipelas. Indolent, fistulous ulcers, secreting thick, 
yellow pus. 



40 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Tissues. — Solidified infiltrations ; thus indurated glands of 
stony hardness. Osseous growths, especially in tarsal and 
carpal articulation. K?tots and kernels and tumors in the 
female breast. Bruises on surface of bone, with hard, rough 
and uneven lumps, as on shin. Dropsy caused by heart disease. 
Anaemia. Ganglion, encysted tumors, from a strain of the 
elastic fibres. Elastic fibres relaxed. Swellings or indurated

Homeopathic Data. — Calc. fluor. has been proved by J. B. 
Bell, and the proving is reported in full in Allen's Encyclopedia, 
vol. x, page 398. The most complete data are to be found in 
the Guiding Symptoms, vol. iii. The drug had been very little 
used, if at all, Homceopathically, until Shiissler brought it into 
prominence. 

Administration. — The higher potencies of this drug give the 
best results, especially in affections of the bones. It can also 
be used externally in such diseases as fissura ani, bony growths, 
hemorrhoids, varicose veins and whitlow. It is applied by 
dissolving about twenty grains of the desired potency in half a 
glass of water and applying it on cotton, lint or other media. 

Relationship. — Calcarea fluorica should be studied in its symp- 
toms of the mind and larynx in connection with its relative 
Calc. carb. in its sleep symptoms with Fluoric acid. It corre- 
sponds to many symptoms of Phosphor., Mercur.,Ruta, Aurum, 
Silica, etc. ? } Often useful after Rhus in lumbago, having the 
same modalities ; after Silica in suppurations ; after Bryoiiia and 
Calcarea in arthritis ; after Sticta and Ferrum phos. in syno- 
vitis ; after Natrum mur. in cold sores. Compare : in swelling 
of skull of infants, Silica', in suppuration of bones, Calc. 
phosph., Assafcet., Silica; in spavin of horses, Phosph. acid and 
Silica. In anaemia it is useful after Calcar. phosph.

CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA. 

Synonyms. — Calcii Phosphas Precipitata. Calcis Phosphas. 
Precipitated Phosphate of Calcium. Calcium Phosphate. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Lime. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula Ca 3 (P0 4 ) 2 . 

Dr. Hering prepared this by dropping dilute phosphoric acid 
into lime-water as long as a white precipitate was formed. 
This was washed with distilled water and dried on a water-bath. 
Insoluble in water or alcohol, soluble in dilute nitric acid and 
other acids, and, to a certain extent, in carbonic acid water. 

Preparation. — The Phosphate of Lime is prepared by tritu- 
ration, as directed under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Calc. phos. is absolutely es- 
sential to the proper growth and nutrition of the body. This 
salt is found in the blood-plasma and corpuscles, saliva, gastric 
juice, bones, connective tissue, teeth, milk, etc. It gives solid- 
ity to the bones. Calc. phos. has a special chemical affinity for 
albumen, which forms the organic basis for this salt in the 
tissue-cells, and is required wherever albumen or albuminous 
substances are found in the secretions. It also supplies new 
blood-cells, becoming the first remedy in anaemia and chlorosis. 
It is of the greatest importance to the soft and growing tissues, 
promoting cell growth, supplying the first basis for the new 
tissues, hence is necessary to initiate growth. 

General Action. — Calc. phos. is curative in disease depend- 
ing upon a disturbed action of the lime-molecules in the body, 
such as occurs in the tardy formation of callus around the ends 
of fractured bones, in the unnatural growth and defective nutri- 
tion of bone and other textures found in rickets and similar 
diseased conditions ; thus the sphere of action of this remedy 



42 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

includes all bone diseases depending on a diseased quality of the 
blood of a dyscrasic taint, involving also the dermoid tissues 
with the osseous. When from any cause an insufficient amount 
of Phosphate of Lime is assimilated for the uses of the animal 
economy, the vegetative system suffers primarily, causing defect- 
ive nutrition, imperfect cell-growth and consequent decay and 
destruction of tissue, especially the osseous and glandular sys- 
tems. It is of use during dentition, in convulsions and spasms 
occurring in weak, scrofulous subjects, stimulating nutrition, 
etc. Another important feature is its restorative power after 
acute diseases, either directly or preparing the way for other 
remedies, by stimulating the system to their action, thus be- 
coming an important intercurrent remedy. Scfmssler, recog- 
nizing the origin of the red blood-globules in the white or 
embryonic ones, and crediting this drug with nutritive stimu- 
lation of the white globules, seeks to promote the formation of 
red globules indirectly by promoting that of the white globules. 
Practically, this drug proves itself a real tonic in many cases;. 
in chronic wasting diseases and hectic, when the phosphate is 
found in excess in the urine, thus corresponding to faulty 
secondary assimilation and to faulty workings of the excretory 
organs. In anaemia of young, rapidly growing people; in 
women weakened by rapid child-bearing, prolonged suckling 
or excessive menstruation or leucorrhcea ; in accompanying dis- 
eases with exhaustive discharges, as in chronic bronchitis^ 
chronic, tubercular diarrhoea and night-sweats, abscesses and. 
scrofulous sores, through its great power on the secretions, it 
acts curatively. 

In old age, where the regenerative function decreases in the 
nervous tissue, Calc. phos. is well indicated, and we find it use- 
ful in senile cutaneous and vaginal itching, as well as during 
reconvalescence from severe acute diseases. In tuberculosis 
pulmonum, with its emaciation, night-sweats, haemoptysis and 
other marked physical symptoms, Calc. phos. in low potencies 
holds out great promise to ameliorate the severity of the case ;, 
equally great is its benefit in pollutions of young married men 
(and sexual excitement of women) and onanists. In the 



CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA. 43 

osseous expansions of rachitic children, Traeger uses cider in- 
ternally and externally, and gives at the same time Calc. phos, 
or Calc. fluor. This is also his favorite treatment in chlorosis 
(cider- whey, and three times a day about 10 grains of the second 
triturations of Calc. phos.), and prefers it by far to the usual iron 
treatment. In chorea during puberty the salts of lime quiet 
our patients far better than the remedies usually recommended. 

Pains where bones form sutures or symphyses and numb, crawl- 
ing pains with chilliness, due to anaemic symptoms, worse from 
wet, and tendency to perspiration and glandular enlargement. 
Sensations mostly in small spots. Phosphatic diathesis. Gen- 
eral lack of vital heat and aggravation from wet. 

If the molecular motion of Calc. phos. is disturbed within 
the epithelial cells of serous membranes, a sero-albuminous 
exudation within the sacs take place. In this way develop 
hydrops germ, hygroma patellae, etc. Minute doses of Calc. 
i)hos. will absorb these exudations. 

If the cells of the epidermis have lost Calc. phos. albumen 
will be thrown upon the surface and by drying, form a crust, a 
desquammation of which can be brought about therapeutically 
by administering Calc. phos. Similar albuminous secretions 
take place on mucous surfaces, if their epithelium is diseased 
through loss of Calc. phos. 

Spasms and pains caused by anaemia are cured by this rem- 
edy. These pains are accompanied by formication, sensation of 
coldness and numbness.

Homeopathic Data — Proved by C. Hering, collected in Guid- 
ing Symptoms, vol. iii, and Allen's Encyclopedia. A history of 
the different provings is found in the Hahnemannian Monthly, 
March, 1871, by C. Hering; also a Resume by him in the 
North American Journal of Homoeopathy, vol. xx. 

Administration. — The lower triturations, 3X to 6x, are the 
potencies usually employed, probably achieving most satisfac- 
tory results, although the higher potencies, 30 to 200, have 
given brilliant clinical results. Schussler prescribes the 6x 
trituration. Large doses are useless and even injurious. Pro- 
longed administration has produced nephritic colic and passage 
of small calculi. 

Relationship. — Very similar to Calc. carb., but with Calc.phos. 
the patient, whose complexion is dirty-white or brown, is usu- 
ally emaciated ; it corresponds more to the acute affections of 
the lungs. In general the phosphate prefers the dark complex- 
ion, dark eyes and hair, while the carbonate acts best in the 
light-haired and blue-eyed. It occupies a ground between 
Calc. carb. and Phosphor., supplementing the latter frequently 
to great advantage. Calc. phos. and Berberis have both been 
beneficial in fistula in ano ; both have great similarity in chest 
symptoms, particularly such as follow surgical operations. In 
anaemic headaches of schoolgirls, follow by Magnes. phos. In 
dental caries, similar to Fluor ac, Magnes. phos. and Silicea; 
in epilepsy, Ferr. phos., Kali mur., Kali phos. and Silicea; in 
diabetes, Kali phos., Natr. phos.; the latter also is similar in 
worm affections. Follows China in hydrocephaloid and anae- 
mia. Complementary to Carb. an. and Rnta. In neurasthenia 
Calc. hypophos. may be called for preferably for similar symp- 
toms. In the copious sweats after weakening, acute diseases 
compare Psorin. In acute articular rheumatism, if after Natr. 
mur. and Kali phos. there remains a trace of the disease. In 
lupus, compare Kali mur. Buttermilk and koumiss are invalu- 
able foods for the aged, because the "lactic acid in them dis- 
solves the phosphate of lime and prevents the ossification in 
tendons, arteries and elsewhere. As a remedy for the aged 
compare B arty a. In anaemia and chlorosis compare also Natr.

mur., especially with constipation, palpitation on lying down, 
earthy complexion. In acne Calc. pier, is more frequently useful 
for boys, the Calc. phos. for girls. Dyspepsia temporarily re- 
lieved by eating is met by Calc. phos. But the drug for which 
this symptom is specific is Anacardium. Chelidon. has a similar 
condition. Compare Helonias with mental depression, debility 
and phosphatic urine. Silicea, anaemia of infants, thin and 
puny, with a tendency to rickets, but with much oily perspira- 
tion on the head; also, Ferr., Cupr., Arsenic, etc. Zinc, is 
complementary in hydrocephaloid, and Ricta in joint affections. 
In non-union of fractures compare Symphytum. In consump- 
tion Calc. phos. is followed well by Silicea, Sulph., Tuber c; and 
often is indicated after Phos., Merc, lod., Ars. tod. 

CALCAREA SULPHURICA. 

Synonyms. — Calcii Sulphas. Calcium Sulphate. 

Common Name. — Gypsum. Plaster of Paris. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Ca S0 4 . It is found in 
nature as anhydrite, gypsum, alabaster and selenite; also in 
various waters constituting one source of permanent hardness. 
Molecular wt, 172. It occurs in flattened prisms (selenite) 
and in earthy masses (gypsum). It is a fine, white crystalline 
powder, soluble in 400 parts of cold water, insoluble in alcohol 
and in dilute nitric and hydrochloric acids. It can be obtained 
by precipitating a solution of calcium chloride with dilute sul- 
phuric acid. 

Preparation. — By trituration, as directed under Class VII, 
American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Present in the connective 
tissues. The Calcarea sulph. contained in the bile comes from 
the liver, where it fulfilled the function of destroying wornout, 
red blood corpuscles, by taking away their water. 

Through a deficiency of Calcar. sulph. in the liver this destruc- 
tion of unfit corpuscles is delayed, hence the blood soon con- 
tains an oversupply of useless cells. Under normal conditions 
all useless blood corpuscles disintegrate by means of Calcar. 



CALCAREA SULPHURICA. 5 1 

sulpk. in the liver ; their remnants are excreted through biliary 
action from the circulation by the shortest route. But if a 
part of these useless corpuscles must be destroyed by oxidation 
within the circulation, their elimination will thereby be ren- 
dered tardy. 

Such remnants as are not excreted by way of the liver from 
the circulation, nor taken up by the lymphatics, reach the 
mucous membranes and skin, producing there catarrh and 
eruptions. 

General Action. — Calc. sidph. stands in close relation to 
suppurations. It cures purulent discharges from the mucous 
membranes and purulent exudations in serous sacs, as well as 
tubercular ulcers or abscesses of the intestines, and ulcers of 
the cornea, etc. It is curative in suppurations at that stage in 
which matter is discharging or continuing to ooze after the 
infiltrated places have discharged their contents of pus. All 
ailments in which the process of discharge continues too long 
and the suppuration is affecting the epithelial tissues. Acts 
upon the connective tissue. If there is a deficiency of it in 
any small part of its domains, suppuration is the result. The 
presence of pus with a vent is the general indication. (J. C. 
Morgan.)

Homeopathic Data. — Calc. sulph. was proved by Dr. Clarence 
Conant. The proving appeared in the Transactions of the Ameri- 
can Institute of Homoeopathy, 1873. It is also to be found in 
Allen^s Encyclopedia, vol. ii, page 410. Nothing especially 
characteristic appears in this proving. In the Guiding Symp- 
toms, vol. iii, page 227, is found a complete arrangement of the 
symptoms of this remedy. 

Administration. — This remedy is also useful externally in such 
affections as felons, ulcers and abscesses. The most common 
potencies for internal use are the 6x and i2x. Low potencies 
are most useful in purulent eye troubles. 

Homeopathic Relationship — Calc. sulph. resembles Hepar 
sulph., but acts deeper and more intensely, and is often useful 
after Hepar has ceased to act. It is also useful when Kali 
mur. ceases to act. Apocynum contains Calc. sulph. Compare 
Calend. in suppurations; Kali mur. in milk-crust and other 
skin affections, swollen cheek, croup, dysentery; Natr. sulph. 
in post- scarlatinal dropsy ; Silicea in hard or suppurating glands, 
ulcers of the corneas, tonsillitis, mastitis, frost-bites.

Iii neuralgia it occupies a ground between the very acute 
pains of Af agues, phos. and the paralyzing ones of Kali phos, 
(more in aged persons, if there is a want of regenerative force 
for the nervous tissue). 

In the third stage of inflammation (resolution) after Kali 
mur.j if the discharge is lumpy and bloody; but if yellow or 
mucous, Kali sulph.; if puslike or bloody pus, Silicea. In car- 
buncles Anthracine is better. Calc. sulph. is often useful after 
Kali mur., when the latter has but partially relieved, also after 
Bellad. and other acute remedies. 



FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms. — Ferroso-ferric Phosphate. Ferri Phosphas. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Iron. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Fe 3 (P0 4 ) 2 . It is prepared 
by mixing sodium phosphate with sulphate of iron in certain 
proportions. The resulting precipitate is filtered, washed and 
dried, and rubbed to a powder, which is bluish-gray from ex- 
posure to the air, without odor or taste. Soluble in acids, but 
insoluble in alcohol or water. It is probably this phosphate 
which is capable of turning blue, which occurs in the lungs in 
phthisis in bluish pus and expectorations. 

Preparation. — The pure phosphate of iron is prepared by 
trituration, as directed under Class VII, American Pharma- 
copoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Iron is found in the hsemo- 
globine or coloring matter of the red blood corpuscles. Accord- 
ing to Dalton, it is not found in such considerable quantities in 
any of the other tissues of the body except in the hair. In a man 
weighing 65 kilogrammes (165 pounds) there would be 2.82 
grammes (44 grains) of iron contained in the entire blood of 
the body. The organic basis of every cell is albumen. Since 
albumen contains iron, each cell must likewise contain iron. 
Iron and its salts have the property to attract oxygen. The 
iron of the blood corpuscles takes up the oxygen from the 
inspired air. This is carried to every cell throughout the 



56 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

organism by means of the mutual reaction of Iron and Kali 
sulph. A disturbance of the equilibrium of the iron molecules 
in the muscular fibres causes a relaxation. This, occurring in 
the muscular coats of the vessels, causes a dilatation and accu- 
mulation of blood in the blood vessels — congestion — blood- 
pressure being increased, the walls rupture, and hemorrhage 
results. Again, if the muscular walls of the intestinal villi 
suffer a relaxation from the disturbed equilibrium of the iron 
molecules diarrhoea results ; when this occurs in the muscular 
walls of the intestines themselves the peristaltic action of the 
bowels is weakened and becomes less active. This causes ten- 
dency to constipation. Anything causing a relaxation of the 
muscular walls of a vessel, and consequent hypersemia, such as 
an injury, finds its remedy in Ferr. phos., as this remedy in 
minute doses restores the equilibrium to the iron molecules, 
thus strengthening the muscular fibres. Through its power of 
attracting oxygen iron becomes a useful remedy in such diseases 
of the blood corpuscles as anaemia, chlorosis and leucaemia. 

General Action. — From the above it is readily seen that 
Ferr. phos. becomes the first remedy in all cases depending on 
a relaxed condition of muscular tissue, wherever found; also 
for an abnormal condition of the blood corpuscles themselves. 

If a new supply of iron molecules is given to the relaxed 
muscle cells, caused by the lack of iron, their normal tonicity 
is restored, the circular fibres of the vessels contract to normal 
bounds, with equalizing the circulation and abatement of the 
fever. 

Its field of action, then, is in all ailments of a hyperaemic or 
congestive nature, with the usual accompaniments of these 
conditions, such as pain, heat, swelling and redness, quickened 
pulse and increased circulation; in a word, all febrile disturb- 
ances and inflammations at their onset, especially before exudation 
commences. Anaemia, want of red blood, etc. Especially use- 
ful in debility of children with failing appetite, becoming dull 
and listless, loss of weight and strength. Ferr. phos. not only 
improves the strength, but helps to increase the bodily develop- 
ment and regulates the bowels. 



FERRUM PHOSPHORICOI. 57 

This drug is by Schuiissler supposed to be no longer indi- 
cated when exudation or even suppuration takes place ; but if 
adapted to the individual patient it may still be depended upon. 
Only when it fails to do any more good should it be relinquished. 

In many inflammatory and some eruptive fevers, especially 
in the young and sensitive, seeming to stand midway between 
the intensity of Aeon, and Bellad. and the dulness of Gelsem.

Homeopathic Data. — Ferr. phos. was proved by J. C. Morgan, 
M. D., in 1876. The symptomatology is to be found in Allerts 
Encyclopedia, vol. x, and in the Cyclopedia of Drug Pathoge- 
nesis, vol. ii. The wide and extensive usefulness of this drug 
is entirely owing to its introduction by Schussler. The provings 
up to the present time do not give a sufficient basis for the 
broad clinical applications that have been been made of it ac- 
cording to the indications of Schussler, although the provings, 
so far as they have gone, support these. 

Administration. — Triturations and dilutions from the 6x to 
the T2x are recommended by Schussler, although for anaemia 
much lower preparations have been used, as the ix or 2x. 
Competent and trustworthy observers have found it advisable 
not to use this remedy below the i2x at night, as it is exceed- 
ingly liable to cause sleeplessness. Its external application is 
also recommended by Schussler in such diseases as sprains, 
wounds, hemorrhages, hemorrhoids, etc. Cures with the 200th 
potency are reported in catarrh, summer complaint, gonor- 
rhoea, etc. Dr. Morgan (the prover) uses the 30th potency in 
w r ater in scarlatina. 

Relationship. — Corresponding as it does to the first stage of 
inflammation without exudation, its nearest analogue is Aeon. 
It stands midway between Acoh. and Gels. Schussler expresses 
himself as follows in regard to the use of Aeon, for similar in- 



64 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

dications: "In the cases in which the vegetable remedy Aeon. 
is used for irritation — hyperemia — the basis of the first stage 
of all inflammations — the practice is indirect biochemistry. Re- 
garding the way and the mode in which Aeon, can bring about 
a cure, there are two possibilities to be thought of. Either the 
Aeon, molecules, which have reached the seat of the disease, 
serve as a temporary substitute for iron molecules, which have 
ceased to perforin their function, but only until the functional 
disturbance has been repaired by means of the vital circulation, 
or the Aeon, molecules cause at once the introduction of new 
iron molecules into the diseased tissue, and are themselves 
ejected as foreign bodies as soon as the integrity of the latter 
has been restored — a fate which naturally also would be shared 
by those Aeon, molecules which might have served as substi- 
tutes. Each of these possibilities would rest on indirect bio- 
chemistry. The healing of the irritation — hypersemia — how- 
ever, by means of Ferr. phos. is a direct biochemic procedure." 
{Walker* s Ed. of Schilssler ] s Diphth.) 

Aconite has a more bounding pulse and the characteristic 
restlessness and anxiety ; Gelsem. a more soft, flowing pulse and 
more drowsiness and dulness. 

In anaemic conditions compare also China, with which it has 
many symptoms in common. It is interesting to note that the 
tree from which China is obtained is always found in a ferrugin- 
ous locality. 

In its action upon the respiratory organs it clearly stands 
between iron and phosphorus. Eike Ferr., it is indicated in con- 
gestion of the respiratory organs, even when there is consider- 
able fever. Especially notice that the oppression and dyspnoea, 
both of which are extremely marked in Ferr. and Phosphor., 
are duplicated in this compound and afford good indications for 
its use; so, in a general way, symptoms of oppression like 
Phosphor, should be treated by this drug. (Allen, Handbook}} 

Ferr. phos. corresponds in many points also to Bryon., Bellad. 
and Arnica, and to Hepar and Mercnr., especially in acute in- 
flammation of middle ear. In the debility, loss of strength 
and vitality of children, it is the remedy if the flesh be firm,

complexion delicate, hair light and cnrly; but Sulphur takes 
its place in dark-complexioned children, with flabby muscles, 
long and lank hair and moist skin. In the rheumatic affections 
of the aged, when the muscles are stiff and weakened, with a 
disposition to painful cramps, compare Strych. phos. California 
Zinfandel wine, a pure claret, the product of the vine growing 
in a volcanic, virgin soil, strongly impregnated with iron, pos- 
sesses virtues in cases of ansemic tendency, probably due to the 
iron soil on which it grows. Aftei Ferr. phos. is frequently 
indicated Kali mur. (See therapeutical part.) Especially in 
diphtheria, pneumonia, croup, etc., etc. 

In chlorosis, follow or precede Calc. phos. 

In hemorrhoids, Calc. fluor. 

In diabetes, Natr. sulph. 

In broncho-pneumonia, Tart. emet. 

In ear affections, catarrhal deafness, Calendula and Hydrastis. 

KALI MURIATICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Chloride. Kali Chloratum. Kali 
Chloridum. Potassii Chloridum. 

Common Names. — Chloride of Potash or Chloride of Po- 
tassium. (N. B. — This drag must not be confounded with Kali 
Chloricum, whose synonyms are Potassium, Chlorate, Potassae 
Chloras and Potash Chloras, whose common name is Chlorate of 
Potash, and whose formula is K CI 3 . This has been proved, 
and the authors of the "Guiding Symptoms" have deemed them 
sufficiently similar to Schussler's Kali 7nur. to incorporate them 
in their work. See Vol. VI, " Guiding Symptoms.") 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K CI. Occurs in nature 
in mineral carnallite. It may be prepared by neutralizing 
pure aqueous hydrochloric acid with pure potassium carbon- 
ate or hydrate. It crystallizes in cubes, occasionally in octahe- 
drons. The crystals are colorless or white, melt at a low red 
heat and volatilize at a high temperature without decomposi- 
tion. It is soluble in three parts of cold and two of boiling 
water, and is insoluble in strong alcohol. 



66 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Preparation. — The pure chloride is prepared by trituration, 
as directed under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico - chemical Data. — This salt, according to 
Schiissler, stands in a chemical relation to fibrin ; disturbances 
in its molecular action cause fibrinous exudations. Without 
the presence of this salt no new brain-cell formation would 
take place. This salt is found in the blood corpuscles, muscles, 
nerve and brain-cells, as well as in the inter-cellular fluids. In 
its physiological characters it is closely related to the sodium 
chloride, many of the properties of which it shares. If the cells 
of the epidermis, in consequence of any irritation, lose mole- 
cules of Kali mur., fibrin in the form of a white or whitish-gray 
exudation, is thrown off. This, in drying, becomes a mealy 
eruption. If the irritation extends to the tissues beneath the 
epidermis, both fibrin and serum will exude, and the involved 
part of the skin will be pushed up in the form of blisters. 
Similar processes can take place within and amongst epithelial 
cells. If the integrity of the affected tissue is again restored by 
the administration of Kali mur. molecules, then a reabsorption 
or throwing off of the exudation occurs. Either result is at- 
tained probably by the production of hydrochloric acid formed 
by one part of chlorine from the K CI with hydrogen. The 
action of this hydochloric acid consists in dissolving the fibrin 
in the formative (nascent) state. 

General Action. — Kali mur. corresponds to the second 
stage of inflammations of serous membranes when the exu- 
dation is of a plastic character. If leucocytes remain after 
the absorption of the fibrin of a plastic exudation, Natrum 
phosph. is serviceable. Kali mur. answers to croupous or diph- 
theritic exudations, and hence is useful in such diseases as 
diphtheria, dysentery, croup, croupous pneumonia, fibrinous 
exudations in the interstitial connective tissues, lymphatic enlarge- 
ments, infiltrated inflammations, cutaneous eruptions from bad 
vaccine virus, etc. The principal general characteristic symp- 
toms are a white or gray coating: at the base of the tongue, white 
or gray exudations, glandular swellings, discharges or expectorations 
of a thick, white, fibrinous slime or phlegm from any mucous

Homeopathic Data. — Hering's Guiding Symptoms, Vol. VI, 



72 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

contains a complete resume of symptoms of this drug, but un- 
fortunately they are mixed up with symptoms of Kali chloricum 
with no distinguishing sign, rendering the collection of symp- 
toms less valuable for purposes of study than would be the case 
had they been kept separate. 

Administration. — Triturations and dilutions. Schiissler's 
preference is for the 6x or I2x, though latterly he has given 
lower potencies. In diphtheria he recommends a gargle of the 
3x, 10 or 15 grains in a tumbler of water. Its external appli- 
cation is also recommended in burns, boils, carbuncles, skin 
affections, warts, etc., to be applied on lint dressings. 

Relationship. — Corresponding as it does to the second stage 
of all inflammatory troubles, immediately upon appearance of 
exudation, its nearest concordants are Bryon., Mercur., Apis, 
Thuja, Spoiigia, Iodine, Pulsat., Rhus and Sulphur. 

Analyses of the following drugs show them to contain Kali 
mur. in quite considerable quantities (Homceopathically consid- 
ered) : Phytol., Sanguin., Stilling., Pinus can., Asclep., Ailanth., 
Anis. stell., Hamam. virg., Cimicif., Berber. Most of these 
possesses many symptoms in common with Kali. mur. When 
full chemical analyses shall have been made of the various 
drugs, vegetable and animal, we shall be able to compare the 
symptoms of each drug with those of its component parts. 
Compare in Eustachian tube troubles Merc. dulc. In syphilis 
follow with Kali sulph. and Silicea. In lupus, Calc. phos. 

In Schiissler's Therapeutics Kali mu,r. assumes a role much 
like Sulphur in pure Homoeopathy, as a deep-acting remedy 
with eradicating tendencies, useful as an intercurrent, and to 
prepare the way for other indicated remedies. Kali mur. is 
frequently followed by Calc. sulph., which latter completes the 
action of the former. Kali mur. follows Ferr. phos., when the 
true lymph-exudation of ripening interstitial inflammation sets 
in. It also supersedes Natr. inur. when the deeper layers of 
epithelium, adjoining the connective tissue basement, are in- 
volved, and even suffer exfoliation, causing a white-coated tongue 
and an opaque- whitish secretion. (Morgan.) 

Kali mur. may be compared with the chlorate, Kali chlor., 



KALI PHOSPHORICUM. 7$ 

the most poisonous of all the potash salts, a violent irritant of 
the whole gastro-intestinal mucous membrane, producing gan- 
grenous ulceration. Compare in aphthae, dysentery, epithe- 
lioma and nephritis. See Allen's Handbook. 

KALI PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Phosphate. Potassii Phosphas. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Potash. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K 2 H P 4 . Prepared bv 
mixing aqueous phosphoric acid with a sufficient quantity of 
potash, hydrate or carbonate, until the reaction is slightly alka- 
line, and evaporating. It crystallizes with difficulty. It is 
very deliquescent ; it is freely soluble in water and insoluble in 
alcohol. 

Preparation. — It is prepared by trituration, as directed 
under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Kali phos. is a constituent 
of all animal fluids and tissues, notably of the brain, nerves, 
muscles and blood-cells. All tissue-forming substances retain 
it with the greatest obstinacy, all nutritious fluids contain it, 
hence we may well conclude that it is indispensable to the for- 
mation of tissues. We know also that the oxidation processes, 
the change of gases in the respiration, and other chemical 
transformations in the blood, as well as the saponifying of the 
fat and its further oxidation, are brought about by the presence 
of the alkalies, and chiefly by the presence of Kali phos. This 
alkaline reaction is essential to a large number of vital pro- 
cesses taking place in the interior, and is present, without 
exception, in all the animal fluids which are actually contained 
in the circulating system, or in the closed cavities of the body. 
(Dal ton.) It is found that the nerves retain their vital proper- 
ties for a long time and very completely in a solution of this 
salt. By the diminution of the excretion of Kali phos. in the 
urine, conditions are produced within the organism which may 
present many-sided resistance to the typhus-decomposing 
element, as well as to the extension of the typhus process. 



74 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

(Grauvogl.) Kali phos. is an antiseptic and hinders the decay 
of tissues. Adynamia and decay are the characteristic states of 
Kali phos. 

The most important discovery of Liebig, that phosphate of 
potash is predominant in the serum of the muscles and 
chloiide of sodium in the circulating blood, we have often 
made great use of, particularly with regard to preferring the 
one or the other nourishment. (Hering.) A disturbance of 
the Kali phos. molecules has for its results : 

i. In the mental sphere such conditions as bashfulness, 
anxiety, fear, tearfulness, suspicion, homesickness, weakness of 
memory, depression, etc. 

2. In the vaso-motor nerves : Pulse at first small and fre- 
quent, later retardation. 

3. In sensory nerves: Pains with paralytic sensation. 

4. In motor nerves : Muscular and nerve prostration to 
paralysis. 

5. Trophic fibres of sympathetic nerve : -Retardation of nutri- 
tion to complete cessation within a circumscribed cellular do- 
main, hence softening and degeneration of involved nerves. 

General Action. — Conditions arising from want of nerve 
power, as prostration, exertion, loss of mental vigor, depres- 
sion. In general, a sluggish condition of mind, which will act 
if aroused; also an exhausted mental condition after mental 
exertion or great strain. It corresponds to the hosts of condi- 
tions known as neurasthenia, in which field it has won its greatest 
laurels. It is a restorative in muscular debility following acute 
diseases, myalgia and wasting of muscular tissue, all dependent 
upon impaired innervation. Atrophic conditions in old people. 
In cases arising from rapid decomposition of the blood cor- 
puscles and muscle juice, such as hemorrhages of a septic 
nature, scorbutus, stomatitis, gangrenous angina, phagedenic 
chancre, offensive, carrion-like diarrhoea, adynamic or typhoid 
conditions, etc.

82 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

The characteristic ameliorations are gentle motion, eating, under 
excitement and company ; worse when alone. Pains and itch- 
ings worse 2 to 5 a. m. 

Homeopathic Data. — The remedy has been proved by the 
Provers' Union of Chicago, under the direction of Dr. H. C. 
Allen, the salient features of which are included in the above 
symptomatology. Another so-called proving has been made 
for Dr. B. Fincke, a very sensitive young woman, with the c. m. 
potency held between the fingers ! We must confess that we 
have not read the account of this heroic proving, as we could 
not conscientiously incorporate it in our treatise. However, 
any one interested in this curiosity can find a report of it in the 
Proceedings of I. H. A. Transactions, and also in The Medical 
Advance, March, 1892, in which number also Dr. Allen's ar- 
rangement of his proving can be found. A carefully prepared 
differential diagnosis of the phosphates from the imperfect 
materials, then in hand by the late Dr. Samuel Lilienthal, can 
be found in the Transactions of the American Institute of Ho- 
moeopathy for 1890. The drug merits more extended, careful 
provings with all potencies. 

Administration. — The lower potencies seem to work best ; thus 
the 2x or 3X in asthma is recommended by Schiissler. How- 
ever, the higher, 6x and i2x, and high potencies have all been 
employed with success. 

Relationship. — Probably the nearest analogues are Rhus tox. 
and Phosph., with which it has many symptoms in common. 
The nervous symptoms of Pulsat. seem to depend on the 
amount of Kali phos. therein. The peculiar mental state of 
Pulsat. is also found under this remedy. Phytol. also has many 
symptoms in common with Kali phos. Compare the sciatica. 
Ignat., too, probably contains Kali phos., as the hysterical 
symptoms are nearly identical. Kali phos. in its action as a 
nerve sedative is related to Ignat., Coffea, Hyoscy., Chamom. 
In menstrual headaches compare Zinc, Cimicif., Gelsem., Cy- 
clamen, etc. In bladder troubles Kali phos. often finds a com- 
plementary remedy in Magnes. phos., the latter corresponding 
more to the spasmodic affections, while Kali phos. more to the 



KALI SULPHURICUM. 83 

paralytic symptoms. In incipient paralysis of the brain, when 
nephritic irritation accompanies, compare Zinc. phos. In hem- 
orrhages, bright or dark red, thin, watery, not clotted, follow 
Kali phos. by Natr. mur., also Nitr. ac After weakening dis- 
eases, the French variety of mushrooms, which contain large 
quantities of Kali phos., restore the muscles more quickly than 
anything else. In its disordered mental conditions compare 
Cyclam., which frequently corrects the abnormal, dreamlike, 
mental state of the insane. Compare Kali mur. in puerpural 
fever. In post-diphtheritic complaints compare Lachesis, Caust. 
In the gangrenous conditions compare Kali chlor. 
Groups for study with Kali phos.: 

1. Nervous system, Cimif., Hyos., Stramon., Zinc, Silicea, 
Ignat., Anacard., Conium, Staphisag. 

2. Blood degeneration, Baptis., Mur. acid, Laches., Crotalus, 
Kreosot., Arsenic, Car bo, China. 



KALI SULPHURICUM. 

Synonyms. — Potassium Sulphate. Kali Sulphas. Potassae 
Sulphas. Potassii Sulphas. 

Common Name. — Sulphate of Potash. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, K S0 4 . Occurs native 
in lavas, etc. Crystallizes in short, permanent, colorless four- 
and six-sided prisms. It is soluble in ten parts of cold and 
three parts of boiling water. It is insoluble in alcohol. It has 
a sharp, bitter, saline taste. 

Preparation. — Pure sulphate of potash is prepared by tritu- 
ration, as directed under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — This remedy, according to 
Schiissler, is the function remedy of the epidermis and of the 
epithelium. A deficiency of this cell salt causes a yellow, 
slimy deposit on the tongue, slimy, thin, or decidedly yellow or 
greenish discharge and secretions of watery matter from any of 
the mucous surfaces, and epithelial or epidermal desquamation. 
The yellowness is probably due to retrograde metamorphosis — 



84 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

fatty degeneration of inflammatory products and of effete epi- 
thelium, etc. 

The sulphates in nature and the oxide of iron serve as oxy- 
gen carriers. If sulphate and iron oxide come in contact simul- 
taneously with an organic substance in a state of decay they 
give off their oxygen, and sulphate of iron is formed thereby ;, 
this becomes decomposed by the air, forming sulphuric acid and 
iron oxide, which, under favorable conditions, become again 
carriers of oxygen. Similar processes may occur in the human 
organism. Therefore, of the sulphates, Kali sulph. probably 
plays an important role, because it is found in the cells and in 
the intercellular fluids, muscles, nerves, epithelium and in the 
blood corpuscles. It is the carrier of oxygen. The oxygen 
taken up by the iron contained in the blood corpuscles is carried 
to every cell of the organism by the reciprocal action of Kali 
sulph. and iron. Every cell requires for its growth and develop- 
ment the vitalizing influence of oxygen. But its continued action 
oxidizes the organic basis of the cells. Hence, they disintegrate 
into their constituent elements. A deficiency of Kali sulph. 
may, according to location and extent, occasion the following 
symptoms : Feeling of heaviness and weariness, vertigo, chilli- 
ness, palpitation, fear, melancholy, toothache, headache, pains 
in the limbs, which intermit and change location. These pains 
are worse in closed rooms, warmth and towards evening, and 
better in fresh, open air, that is rich in oxygen. 

Epidermis and epithelial cells poorly fed with oxygen loosen 
and desquamate. If oxygen is brought to the suffering parts 
by means of Kali sulph. the formation of new cells is thereby 
furthered, and these hasten, by their activity, to further the 
desquamation of the old ones. 

General Action. — It is applicable to the third stage of in- 
flammation or to its stage of retrogression, the sulphates being 
characteristic products of the oxidation of tissue and the potas- 
sium having its special sphere in the solids, and the resulting 
salt becomes a prominent constituent of their ashes, whence we 
can infer its Homceopathicity to the same stage. Ailments ac- 
companied by profuse desquamation of epidermis. Yellow

to be Pulsat. It is interesting to compare these two remedies, 

as they have many symptoms in common. Thus both have : 

Aggravation of symptoms in a warm room. Amelioration

in the cool and open air. Discharges from mucous membranes 
are yellow, purulent in character; sometimes yellowish-green. 
Coating of tongue yellow and slimy. Pressure and feeling of 
fulness in stomach. Gonorrhoea with yellow or yellowish-

shifting and wandering rheumatic pains. A chemical analysis 
of Pulsat. shows that one of its constituents is Kali sulph., 
another is Kali phos. and another is Calc. phos. Its mucous 
symptoms probably are due to the presence of Kali sulph., and 
its mental and nervous symptoms to Kali phos.; but, of course, 
this is pure hypothesis, and only suggested for further study 
and observation. Kali sulph. often follows with advantage 
Kali mur. Compatible remedies in itching and redness of 
skin: Acetic acid, Arsen., Calc. carb., Dolichos, Hepar, Puis., 
Rhus, Sepia, Silicea, Sulphur, Urtica. 

Compare Natr. mur. in deafness, pain in stomach, coarse rales 
and profuse exudations, but these are more watery in Natr. 
mur. 

MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA. 

Synonyms. — Magnesium Phosphoricum. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Magnesia. 

Chemical Properties.— Formula, Mg HP0 4 , 7H 2 0. It is 
made by mixing phosphate of soda with sulphate of magnesia. 
The crystals resulting are six-sided, needlelike. They have 
a cooling, sweetish taste. They are sparingly soluble in water ; 
322 parts dissolving one part after standing a long time. Boil- 
ing decomposes it. It exists in the grains of cereals, and can 
be detected in considerable quantity in beer. 

Preparation.— The salt is triturated according to Class VII, 
American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data.— Is an earthy constituent of 
muscle, nerves, bone, brain, teeth and blood corpuscles. A 



90 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

disturbance of its molecular motion causes cramps, pains and 
paralysis. Schiissler says that the action of Magnes. phos. is 
the reverse of that of iron. By functional disturbance of the 
molecules of the latter the muscular fibres relax; through the 
functional disturbances of the magnesium molecules they con- 
tract ; hence it is the remedy for cramps, convulsions and other 
nervous phenomena. 

General Action. — Diseases having their seat in the nerve- 
fibre cells or in the terminal bulbs of the nerves, in the muscles 
or in the muscular tissue itself, are cured by this -remedy. 
Pains which are darting, spasmodic in character, boring,, 
lightning-like, accompanied by a constrictive feeling. They 
are often changing in locality, and are relieved by warmth 
and pressure. It is purely antispasmodic, and hence is curative 
in cramps, spasms of the glottis, tetanus, epilepsy, spasmodic 
retention of the urine, paralysis agitans, etc. It is best adapted 
to lean, thin, emaciated persons of a highly nervous organiza- 
tion, and prefers light complexion and the right side of the 
body. Cold in general favors its action exceedingly, whereas 
heat and pressure interfere with it. Hence the patient is- 
relieved by these. Attacks are often attended with great 
prostration and sometimes with profuse sweat. The Magnes. 
phos. patient is languid, tired, exhausted, unable to sit up,, 
whether he is suffering from acute or chronic affections.

of glottis. Chorea. Tetanus. Bad effects from injurious stimu- 
lants. 

Modalities. — All the pains of this remedy are characteristically 
worse on the right side, from cold, cold air, draught of air, cold 
washing and from touch. They are always relieved by warmth, 
heat, pressure, bending double, and friction. 

Homeopathic Data. — Since its introduction by Schussler this 
magnificent remedy has been proved by Drs. W. P. Wesselhceft, 
J. A. Gann and other members of the I. H. A., by which the 
main indications of Schussler were verified and others added, 
thus giving us a polychrest of the highest order. All the 
provings have been arranged systematically by Dr. H. C. Allen, 
and published in the Medical Advance, December, 1889. The 
foregoing symptomatology contains all that seemed to us reli- 
able and worthy of preservation. A resume of its symptoms 
is also given in Hering's Guiding Symptoms, vol. vii. 

Administration. — Schussler recommends the 6x trituration, 
and adds that it acts best when given in hot water. Many 
practitioners have verified this valuable hint, and found also 
that in case of failure with this preparation, the lower poten- 
cies, such as the first and second, would cure. In colic, Dr. J. 
C. Morgan advises the 3 ox in water, and frequent doses. But 
in view of the really surprising and apparently wdiollv trust- 
worthy results obtained by the provers with the high and high- 
est potencies, we would recommend these should the lower 
fail. 

Relationship. — Mag7ies. phos. has won its greatest laurels in 
the treatment of nervous affections, neuralgias especially. 
Here, in a general way, it finds another tissue remedy with 
which it shares the honors. ( This is Kali phos., which is more 
truly the nutritive brain remedy, and clinically corresponds 
more to paretic affections, while Magnes. phos. does more to 
spasmodic affections. The general modality differs, too, Kali 
phos. having amelioration by cold applications. In studying 
the action of this drug, we find the most striking resemblance 
in the colic and other neuralgic symptoms with Colocynth.; and 
it certainly is a suggestive and interesting fact that Colocynth. 



96 THE TWELVE TISSUE "REMEDIES. 

contains 3 per cent, of Magnes. phos. The flatulent colic re- 
minds also of Dioscorea. Another near relative is Gelesem. 
The provings of both show a close correspondence in the mix- 
ture of spasmodic and paretic symptoms, hence their successful 
employment in hysteria, hypochondriasis and spinal irritation. 
The chill up and down the back are common to both. Natu- 
rally enough come into this physiological group Ignat. and 
Nux mosch., which compare especially in the natuleut symp- 
toms of both and the spasmodic of Ignat. In spasms Magnes. 
phos. is like Bellad., and follows it frequently, should it fail 
and the patient present the dilated pupils, staring eyes and 
starting at slightest noise. In strabismus, if caused by worms, 
compare Natrum phos.; in watery secretions, diarrhoea, etc., 
Natrum mur.; in epilepsy, Kali mur., Calc. phos. and Silicea; 
affections of the right side of the body, Bellad., Br yon., Chelid., 
Kali carb. , Lycop. , Podoph. The violent pains remind of Bellad. , 
Str anion.; the shifting, rapidly changing of Puis., Kali sulph., 
Lac can.; the squeezing, constricting sensation of Caches, Calc, 
Iod. and Snlph. The menstrual and labor-pains resemble 
Viburn., also Pulsat., but, unlike this, are better by heat. 
Cimicif. has much similarity here, but its pains are more steady, 
those of Magnes. phos. more spasmodic. Again, the pains of 
Magnes. phos. seem to be more in the deeper structures — ova- 
ries, fundus ; those of Cimicif. more in the ligamentous. (A. P. 
Davis.) In membranous dysmenorrhcea remember Borax and 
Acetic acid and Viburn. op. Among plants containing Magnes. 
phos. may be mentioned Lobelia, Symphytum, Stramon. and 
Viburn. , which probably explains the presence of similar symp- 
toms. In the nightly neuralgic pains relieved by heat compare 
also Ars.; and its action on the nervous system generally com- 
pare Zinc.

Synonyms. — Sodium Chloride. Chloruretum Sodicum. 
Natrium Chloratum Purum. Sodii Chloridum. Chloride of 
Sodium. 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 97 

Common Names. — Common Salt. Table Salt. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na CI. It occurs abun- 
dantly in nature, nearly everywhere. It crystallizes from aque- 
ous solutions in colorless, transparent, anhydrous cubes; it is 
soluble in three parts of cold water, scarcely more in boiling. 
It is insoluble in absolute alcohol. Its watery solutions dis- 
solve several bodies insoluble in water, e. g., Calc. phos., etc. 

Preparation. — One part of weight of pure chloride of so- 
dium is dissolved in nine parts by weight of distilled water. 
Amount of drug power, one-tenth. Dilutions must be prepared 
as directed under Class V — a, and triturations according to 
Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — This salt is a constituent of 
every liquid and solid part of the body. Its function is to 
regulate the degree of moisture within the cells. 

This function of salt to regulate the degree of moisture 
within the cells is accomplished by virtue of its property of 
attracting water, which is imbibed as drink or in the food, and 
which it carries into the blood, whence it may finally reach 
the various cells, giving them the needful degree of moisture. 
Every cell contains soda, combining with nascent chlorine, 
which is formed by the splitting up of the chloride of sodium 
contained in the intercellular fluids. This chloride of sodium 
within the cell thus produced has the property of attracting 
water ; in consequence of which the cell enlarges and is divided. 
Only in this way does division of cells for purposes of cell mul- 
tiplication takes places. 

If no chloride of sodium is formed within the cells, the water 
destined to supply their moisture, is retained in the intercellular 
fluids, and a hydraemia results. The patient then shows a wa- 
tery, bloated appearance, is languid, drowsy, lachrymose, chilly, 
especially along the spine and extremities. He craves salt. 
Although a plentiful supply of salt may be offered in the food, 
the diseased condition is not removed, simply because the cells 
cannot take up the particles of salt unless offered in a very 
dilute solution. 

An oversupply of salt within the intercellular fluids often 
7 



98 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

occasions a salty taste, due to the irritation of the glossophar- 
yngeal and lingual nerves. Such a condition, also causes acrid- 
ity of secretions of mucous membranes or of open wounds. 

Chloride of sodium contained in the healthy epithelial cells 
of serous membranes regulates the osmosis of water from the 
arterial blood to the several serous sacs. A disturbance of the 
functions of these salt molecules is followed by a watery exuda- 
tion within the sacs. By the therapeutic application of small 
doses of Natrum mur. the cells are enabled to reabsorb the 
exudation. 

A disturbance of the molecular motion of this salt in the 
epithelium of the tear glands, or in the salivary glands is fol- 
lowed by lachrymation or ptyalism. 

If the dental branch of the fifth nerve is irritated, and the 
disturbance reaches the lachrymal glands, which is done by 
means of the secretory fibres of the sympathetic, and which 
results in a disturbance of the function of the molecules of salt 
in these cells, we have a toothache accompanied by a profuse 
flow of saliva. 

The epithelial cells of the intestinal mucous membrane trans- 
fer, by means of their salt, the water taken with the food into 
the blood contained in the branches of the portal vein. A dis- 
turbance of their function through any irritation results in a 
reverse flow. Serum enters the intestinal canal, and a watery 
diarrhoea results in consequence. And if the irritation reaches 
the mucous cells of the intestines, a watery, mucous diarrhoea 
results. The mucin of the mucous cells appears on the surface 
as a glairy, transparent mucus. The normal secretion of mucus 
is decreased if the mucous cells contain too little salt and 
mucin. 

It is the sodium chloride particularly which regulates the 
quantity of water entering into the composition of the blood 
corpuscles, thereby preserving their form and consistence ; and 
it seems to perform an analagous office with regard to the other 
semi-solids of the body. (Dal ton.) 

The Natr. mur. molecules contained in the epithelial cells 
of the peptic glands become split up by the mild action of the 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 99 

carbonic acid of the blood, its chlorine is separated, and the 
free soda unites with the carbonic acid, and this combination 
reaches the blood while the chlorine, united to the hydrogen 
and dissolved in water, reaches the stomach as hydrochloric 
acid. If on account of the want of salt in the epithelial cells 
of the peptic glands no HC1 can be formed, there arises an 
increase of the exudated alkaline mucus from the superficial 
epithelium of the mucous membrane of the stomach. Diluted 
hydrochloric acid, given in order to reduce the secretion of the 
superficial epithelial cell to the proper quantity, is but a pal- 
liative procedure ; a rational cure must be effected by restor- 
ing the disturbed motion of the NaCl molecules which are 
found in the nourishing fluid of the epithelial cells of the pep- 
tic glands by means of administering homogeneous molecules. 

This is also the function remedy of mucin, which is con- 
tained in the epithelial cells of all mucous membranes. It 
cures catarrh of such when its characteristic exudation is 
present ; just as the hydrochloric acid formed in the epithelial 
cells of the peptic glands reduces the increased alkaline mu- 
cous exudation of the superficial epithelium to the right quan- 
tity, so can the hydrochloric acid that is formed by splitting 
up of the chloride of sodium within the mucin of all mucous 
membranes limit the secretion of mucus in the formative 
(nascent) stage. 

It is a fact that hydrochloric acid is obtained from salt (Natr. 
mur.), not only by means of carbonic acid acting upon the salt 
in a mass, but a similar result is obtained by the action of water. 
In the former the carbonic acid unites with the sodium which 
has lost its chlorine, and this combination reaches the blood ; 
in the other case, sodium hydroxyd results, which dissolves the 
mucin and increases the secretion of mucus. This explains 
the origin of catarrh in damp atmospheres. 

In consequence of a marked disturbance of the function of 
salt, blood serum may transude into the stomach and vomiting 
of a watery secretion (waterbrash) will result. If salt is lack- 
ing in a portion of cells below the epidermis, their proper 
amount of water cannot be received, and the epidermis rises in 



IOO THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

blisters, with clear, watery contents. Similar blisters, from 
corresponding disturbances, may arise on the conjunctiva. 

In consequence of a disturbed function of salt we may find at 
the same time, though in different places, secretions either in- 
creased or decreased. For instance, a gastric catarrh with vom- 
iting of water or mucus may exist, together with a constipation, 
caused by a lessened secretion of mucus in the colon. 

General Action. — Natr. mur. promotes the activity of tissue 
change and increases the excretion of urea, hence its use in 
chronic scrofulous ailments affecting the glands, bowels and 
skin. It acts upon the blood, lymphatic system, the mucous 
lining of the digestive tract and upon liver and spleen. It 
causes a deterioration of the blood and other vital fluids, par- 
taking of a scorbutic nature, giving rise to inflammation, going 
on to ulcerations and producing distinct dyscrasise. It also pro- 
duces, and hence cures, a cachexia like that resulting from 
ague plus quinine. Malnutrition and emaciation. Anaemia, leu- 
caemia, hydrsemia, chlorosis and scorbutus. A serous discharge 
is the leader to this drug. It causes pains in any part of the 
body when they are accompanied by salivation, increased 
lachrymation, or by vomiting of water or mucus. Mucous 
membranes everywhere are affected, producing sponginess and 
swelling with venous hyperaemia, bleeding and increased mu- 
cous secretion ; hence, catarrhs of all mucous membranes, with 
secretions of transparent, watery, coarse, frothy mucus. Vesicles 
with watery contents, which burst and leave a thin scurf. 
Watery vomiting, increased aqueousness of any part of the 
body, hydrocephalus, etc. The tongue has a clean, shiny appear- 
ance, or bubbles of frothy saliva extend along: its sides, or is broad, 
pallid, puffy, with a pasty coat. Diminished secretions of any 
part of the body, salty taste. 

Dr. Leon Rosenbusch, of Lemburg, reports a most favorable 
experience in the use of Natr. mur. by subcutaneous injections 
in cases marked by danger of failing circulation. The follow- 
ing is a resume by the author of the indications for injection 
and the amounts to be used : 

i. Sudden collapse (five to eight drains of a six per cent, 
solution).

Modalities. — Generally worse in the morning, periodically ; at 
the seaside and in cold weather. Backache is relieved by lying 
on something hard. Complaints after urinating; after abuse 
of nitrate of silver ; from quinine. 

Homeopathic Data. — This drug was first proved by Hahne- 
mann, and appears in vol. iv of the Chronic Diseases. It was 
also re-proved by the Austrian Society of Provers, and the 
pathogenetic effects recorded by Hahnemann and therapeutic 
results obtained by the use of the 30th potency brilliantly ver-

ified. Its pathogenesis is found complete in the Chronic Dis- 
eases, but excellent resumes, together with added clinical 
experience since that publication can be found in Hering's 
Guiding Symptoms, Vol VII, and Allen's Handbook of Materia 
Medica. An interesting and suggestive little book on Natrum 
muriaticiim as a test of the doctrine of "Drug Dynamization" 
by Dr. Jas. C. Burnett, is also worthy of special mention. Pub- 
lished by E. Gould & Son, London. 

Administration. — Schiissler recommends the 6th potency. The 
general experience of the homoeopathic school seems to be in 
favor of the higher potencies; thus H. C. Allen, M. D., says it 
will cure more quickly in the attenuations above the 30th than 
below. Schiissler recommends also its external application in 
such diseases as the stings of insects, likewise as a gargle or 
spray in catarrhal affections. 

Relationship. — Compare Kali sulph. and Kali mur. in catarrhs 
of the Eustachian tubes and tympanum. In gastric and 
intestinal conditions compare Natr. sulph. In headache of 
young girls during menses compare Calc. phos. and Ferr. 
phos. Headache during catamenia, Kali sulph. when metror- 
rhagic symptoms preponderate. When the menses are scanty, 
Natr. mur. In bites of insects Ledum comes nearest, but 
Ferr. phos. and Kali phos. have also been successfully em- 
ployed. Natr. mur. has as a close analogue Lycop., 
which will often be needed to supplement its action. Natr. 
mur. regulates moisture exudation from the circulation, espe- 
cially when from the arterial system, while Natr. sulph. is 
more indicated when from the venous system. Complementary 
drugs : Apis and Arg. nit. Natr. mur. often precedes Sepia 
and Sulph. in chronic diseases. For the excessive use of salt 
in food give Phosph. For the bad effects of sea-bathing, Ars. 
For the bad results of cauterization of any mucous surface with 
nitrate of silver, Natrum is the antidote. For dryness of 
mucous membranes compare Graphite, Alumina, Bryonia. In 
xanula, Ambra. 



NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. TOO/ 



NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

Synonyms. — Sodium Phosphate. Natri Phosphas. Phos- 
phas Natricus. Sodse Phosphas. Sodii Phosphas. 

Common Name. — Phosphate of Soda. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na 2 HP0 4 , i2H 2 0. Sp. 
gravity, 1.55. It is prepared by neutralizing orthophos- 
phoric acid with carbonate of sodium, and is also made from 
bone-ash. It crystallizes in large, transparent, monoclinic 
prisms containing twelve molecules of water of crystallization. 
It has a mild, cooling, saline taste. It is soluble in two parts 
of hot and in six of cold water. It is insoluble in alcohol. 
Solutions are slightly alkaline. 

Preparation. — The pure phosphate of soda is triturated as 
directed under Class VII, Americaii Pharmacopeia. (Should 
be kept well corked.) 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — This salt is found in the 
blood, muscles, nerve and brain-cells, as well as in the inter- 
cellular fluids. Through the presence of this salt, lactic acid 
is decomposed into carbonic acid and water. It absorbs the 
carbonic acid, taking up two molecules for every molecule of 
itself, and carries it to the lungs, where the oxygen of the air 
sets the carbonic acid free in exchange for oxygen, which 
latter is taken up by the iron contained in the blood corpus- 
cles. Natrum phos. is the remedy for conditions arising from 
excess of lactic acid. It prevents inspissation of the bile and 
mucus with crystallization of cholesterin in the gall duct and 
will thus remove the cause of many cases of jaundice, hepatic 
colic, bilious headache and imperfect assimilation of fats from 
lack of bile. It is useful in podagra, gout, as well as in acute 
and chronic articular rheumatism, being thus a remedy for the 
so-called acid diathesis. 

The role of this salt in the normal economy, according to 
Moleschott and Schussler, largely consists in the catalysis of 
lactic acid in the blood, thus purifying that fluid organ from 
this effete product of muscular function, which tranforms stored 



IIO THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

glycogen into the acid. The liver is the prime and master 
laboratory of the animal body. It is essential to both the nitro- 
genous and the hydro-carbonaceous transformations, to the re- 
newal and the depuration of the blood, to the production of 
glycogen and grape sugar from starchy and saccharine food, 
and to the higher oxidation of uric acid, and other effete tissue 
principles, into urea, ready for elimination by the kidney, and 
by bile-formation contributes to the intestinal work. When 
inert, this organ falls short of this extensive function ; when 
overactive, it exceeds it, and overproductions appear with symp- 
tomatic effects. These functions are principally due to cell- 
action. There are two classes of functional or parenchymatous 
cells; the biliary, spread out as epithelium in the capillary 
branches of the ducts, in intimate relation with the vessels of 
the liver and likewise with the remaining set of functional 
cells — viz: those of the hepatic acini, also lying in intimate 
relation to the blood vessels and to the biliary capillaries, with 
their glandular epithelium. This double duty belongs to the 
large cells of the acini — viz : the formation of glycogen and 
the formation of uric acid. In addition, the old red blood- 
globules are here in the liver, but in the portal system of veins, 
now become capillary in the acini, are finally disintegrated, and 
the new-formed globules perfected. All of these varied func- 
tions, separate as they are, undoubtedly assist each other, fur- 
nishing necessary chemical exchanges, etc. The glycogen is 
believed to be mainly carried away in the blood-current, to be 
stored in the muscular tissues, furnishing motor energy thereto, 
and being chemically split into two parts of lactic acid. This 
acid aids in later vital functions of the body, and is at last 
transformed into carbonic acid and water, while circulating in 
the blood. This transformation takes place through the pres- 
ence in the blood of phosphate of soda — Natr. phos. — and by 
a catalytic action of this salt. Any deficiency in this prevents 
this chemical change, and the lactic acid remains as such. An 
acid state of the system now prevails ; rheumatism, dyspepsia, 
intestinal troubles, etc., ensue. According to Schiissler, by the 
administration of molecular doses of this drug, this catalytic 



. NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM. Ill 

action is at once restored — the acid state ceases, and the rheu- 
matic and other symptoms subside. (J. C. Morgan, M. D.) 

Uric acid is kept soluble in the blood by the presence of the 
phosphate of soda and the natural tempterature of the blood. 
Whenever there is 'a deficiency of this salt, uric acid is combined 
with the soda, forming the urate of soda, an insoluble salt and 
deposited near the points producing gout and acute inflamma- 
tory rheumatism. During an attack of acute gout, we find 
that the excretion of uric acid is diminished in the proportion 
to the amount of the deposit of urate of soda around the points. 

Natrum phosph. serves to emulsify fatty acids; it is therefore 
a remedy for all dyspeptic conditions traceable to fats, or such 
as are aggravated by their use. Besides combining with these 
acids the phosphate of soda appropriates molecules of albumen, 
which acts bio-chemically like an acid. 

The white blood corpuscles, leucocytes or lymph corpuscles 
carry molecules of fat and peptones, which, latter are modified 
albuminoids, from the intestinal walls to the blood and thence 
to the tissues. They do this by virtue of their active move- 
ments. From the walls of the intestinal tract the passage of 
the leucocytes, now laden with peptones, is a direct one while 
those carrying the fat molecules reach the goal by an indirect 
way — namely, through the thoracic duct. Finally they reach, 
the tissues through ths walls of the capillaries. Here, after 
the peptones are retransformed into albuminoids, they are de- 
posited and become material for the growth of young cells 
which are formed by division. 

If the progress of the leucocytes carrying the fat molecules 
is stopped in their course through the lymphatic glands, skin, 
bones, or lungs, phlegmonous and glandular inflammations and 
swellings take place as well as tubercular conditions of these 
organs and tissues. 

Since these stagnated leucocytes contain albumen and fat, 
their fatty degeneration is rendered possible. So long as this 
has not actually taken place, Natrum phosph. possesses the 
power to free the leucocytes and thereby again enabling them 
to carry on their specific function. This it does by its two

properties — that of emulsifying fats even if but a trace of a.

cules.

vated during a thunderstorm ; during menstruation many 
symptoms have an afternoon and evening aggravation. 

Homeopathic Data. — Proved under supervision of Dr. E. A. 
Farrington. The record of the proving is found in Allerfs 
Encyclopedia, vol. x, first published in Hahnemannian Monthly, 
vol. xii. An excellent symptomatology of the drug is found in 
Allen's Handbook and Hering's Guiding Symptoms, vol. viii. 

Administration. — Schiissler recomends the 6x, either in tritu- 
ration or in dilution. It may also be used as an injection in 
worm troubles. Dr. Morgan prefers infrequent doses of the 
30th potency. The higher and highest potencies have also 
been employed with success. 

Relationship. — As a remedy for scrofulosis with similar "acid" 
symptoms compare Calc. carb. In gastric catarrhal affections 
it is to be compared with Calcar., Kali carb., Nux, Coccul., 
Carbo, Carbol. ac. As a remedial agent for children, for 
whom Natr. phos. is pre-eminently the remedy, where these 
acid conditions of stomach and bowels are frequent, compare 
Rheum, where the whole body, but especially the stool of the 
little patient, smells sour. It is interesting to note the associa- 
tion of the peculiar Natr. phos. gastric symptoms, so frequently 
verified clinically, and the symptoms of gout developed in the 
provings. Remembering the peculiar gouty dyspepsia, we may 
have in Natr. phos. a most useful remedy. Compare here 
Colchic, Benz. ac, Guaiac, Lycop., Sulphur. In itching all 
over, compare Dolichos, Urtica, Sulphur, etc. 

NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 

Synonyms. — Sodium Sulphate. Sodae Sulphas. Sodii 
Sulphas. 

Common Name. — Glauber's Salt. Sulphate of Soda. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Na 2 S0 4 , ioH 2 0. It oc- 
curs rather abundantly in nature: sea water, saline springs, 
Russian salt lakes, etc. It is prepared by the action of sul- 
phuric acid on common salt and purified by recrystallization. 
It forms large, colorless, transparent, oblique, rhombic or six- 



NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 117 

sided prisms, having a cooling, bitter, saline taste. They efflo- 
resce in warm air at 30 C. They melt in their own water of 
crystallization, melting also freely at 33 C; above or below 
that temperature the solubility decreases. 

Preparation. — The pure sulphate of sodium is triturated as 
directed under Class VII, American Pharmacopoeia. 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — The sulphuric acid formed 
by the oxydation of the albuminoids would destroy the tissues 
were it not united in its nascent state with carbonates, by which 
the carbonic acid is set free. This salt does not appear in the 
cells, only in the intercellular fluids. It aids and regulates the 
excretion of superfluous water — e. g., that which arises from 
the decomposition of lactic acid with the phosphate of sodium, 
cedemas, etc. Disturbance of the molecular motion of this salt 
prevents the elimination of such water from the tissues as is 
produced by oxidation of organic substances. 

The action of Natrnm snlph. is opposite to that of Natrum 
mnr. Both have the property to attract water, but for 
opposite purposes. Natrum mur. attracts the water which is 
to be used in the organism, while Natrum sulph. attracts the 
water due to retrograde metamorphosis and brings about its 
elimination from the organism. 

Natrum mur. furthers the division of cells for purposes of 
increase. Natrum sulph. takes away water from worn-out 
leucocytes, and thereby accomplishes their disintegration. It 
is, therefore, the remedy for leucaemia. It irritates epithelial 
cells and nerves, as will be seen in the following facts : 

In consequence of the induced activity by the Natrum sulph. 
of the epithelial cells lining the uriniferous tubes, superfluous 
water, holding in solution or suspension products of metamor- 
phosis is sent to the kidneys. This leaves the organism by 
way of the ureter and .bladder as urine. 

Natrum sulph. , by irritating the epithelial cells of the bile 
ducts, pancreas and intestinal canal, furthers the normal secre- 
tion of these organs. It also has the function to stimulate the 
nerves of these parts. 

If the sensory nerves of the bladder are not stimulated by 



Il8 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Natrum sulph. the sensation to urinate is not reported to con- 
sciousness and involuntary urination — eneuresis — results. If 
the motor nerves of the detrusor are not irritated, suppression 
of urine results. 

In consequence of an irregular action of Natrum sulph. on 
the nerves supplying the gall apparatus, we may have an in- 
crease or diminution of that secretion. 

If a diabetes melitus is caused by a lessened secretion of 
pancreatic fluid, Natrum sulph. may be the remedy required. 

If the motor nerves of the colon are not influenced sufficiently 
by Natrum sulph. constipation and flatulent colic result. 

If in consequence of disturbed molecular motion of Natrum 
sulph. the elimination of superfluous water from the intercellu- 
lar spaces is rendered tardy, hydrsemia results. 

The hydraemia and the functional disturbances within the 
gall secreting apparatus are the conditions for the development 
of the following diseases : 

Intermittent and bilious fevers, influenza, vomiting of bile, 
bilious diarrhoea, oedema, cedematous erysipelas, vesicular erup- 
tions, filled with yellow serum ; moist eczema, herpes, sycotic 
growths, catarrhs, with yellowish-green or green secretions. 

Persons suffering from hydrsemia are worse in damp weather, 
near water, in close, damp dwellings, cellars, etc., and are bet- 
ter under opposite conditions. 

General Action. — Like other alkaline sulphates, an active 
cathartic. In addition, however, it exhibits a marked similar- 
ity to the uric acid diathesis in general, and is certainly a val- 
uable remedy in combating numerous phases of that poly- 
morphous malady. (T. F. Allen.) Gastric bilious conditions, 
accumulation of water in the areolar tissues, yellow, watery 
secretions on the skin, or yellowish scales forming an eruption 
of vesicles. Excessive secretion of bile, liver affections, gravel, 
sand in the urine, diabetes, gout, figwarts, etc. The chief 
characteristic is a dirty greenish-gray or greenish-brown coating 
on the root of the tongue and aggravation from lying on the left 
side. Natr. sulph. combines in a measure the wonderful effects 
of Natr. mur. and of Sulphur in the Western climate as an 



NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 119 

active malarial agent. Its complaints are those that are brought 
on by living in damp houses, basements and cellars. Com- 
plaints are worse in wet weather, correspond to the hydrogenoid 
constitution and sycotic dyscrasia, constitutional conditions in 
children that result in chest catarrhs and asthmatic complaints. 
(Kent.) The morbid alterations caused by Natr. sulph. begin 
to be observable near the end of the ileum and in the lower 
part of the colon. In the latter the follicles appear swollen, 
with a bright red margin of capillaries ; the mucous membrane 
between is either pale or shows inconsiderable dentritic injec- 
tions. In the lower part of the ileum the mucous membrane 
shows a saturated, bright red coloring, mostly equal. It is the 
chief ingredient in the Carlsbad water, so largely used for its 
action on the liver ; also contained in the cold springs of the 
Isle of Wight, of Piillna, Marienbad and Franzensbad.

Homeopathic Data. — Proved first by Schretter in 1832, and by 
Nenning. The best arrangement of symptoms appeared in 
Hering's Materia Medica, transferred with some additions to 
Allerts Encyclopedia. But the credit of greatly enlarging our 
philosophical conception and therapeutic application of this 
•drug belongs to Grauvogl, who showed the correspondence of 
this drug to the so-called hydrogenoid constitution and chronic 
effects of gonorrhoeal infection. His observations have been 
repeatedly verified. 

Administration — In lead colic low, ix to 2x, and often. 
•Schiissler recommends the 6x trituration. Grauvogl used 



124 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

mainly the 2x to 6x potency, while the 30 and 200 have been 
used by Hering and others. 

Relationship. — Natr. sulph. has many symptoms in common 
both with the Natrums and Sulphur. In the eye symptoms 
compare Graphit., which also has the extreme aggravation 
from light in chronic eye affections. In the cough, Bryon.. 
corresponds to Natr. sulph., in the all-gone sensation in chest, 
soreness and need of steadying the chest, hence relief by pres- 
sure ; but Natr. sulph. has much more the muco-purulent, thick, 
ropy, yellowish-green expectoration, hence in later stages,, 
Bryon. more to the earlier, when cough is more irritable, with 
much rawness, constriction, burning and sensation of tearing 
in chest. In asthma compare also Silicea as a radical remedy- 
In gonorrhoea Natr. sulph. competes with Thuja and Mercur.. 
It is painless with Natr. sulph., and the discharge keeps up a. 
yellowish-green, thick discharge. Complementary to Thuja 
for deep-seated sycotic constitutional affections, or where a syco- 
tic condition is engrafted on a hydrogenoid base. In polyuria,. 
Ferrum phosph., Phosph. acid precede it. Compare Stillingia 
in hip disease. 

SILICEA. 

Synonyms. — Silica. Silicea Tera. Silex. Decarbonized 
white pebble. Acidium Silicicum. The proper name is Silicic: 
Oxide. 

Common Names. — Pure Flint or Quartz. Silicious Earth. 

Chemical Properties. — Formula, Si0 2 . Prepared by fusing 
silica and carbonate of sodium ; dissolving residue filtered and 
precipitated by hydrochloric acid. It is a white powder, hav- 
ing neither taste nor smell. 

Preparation.— Pure Silicea is triturated according to Class 
VII, American Pharmacopoeia. Dr. P. Wilde uses preferably 
the silicate of soda known as "liquid glass," which is freely 
soluble in water. (See "Administration.") 

Physiologico-chemical Data. — Although this inorganic salt: 
is found very abundantly throughout the vegetable kingdom,, 
especially in grasses, grain, palms, etc., it is found compara- 



SILICKA. 125 

tively little in the animal kingdom, notably so in the higher 
orders, the vertebrae. Traces of Silicea, however, are found in 
the ashes of blood, bile or urine, and larger quantities (7 per 
cent.) in the white of egg, and even more in the ashes of the 
epidermis, hair and nails. It is also found in the connective 
tissue, and hence its action on the spinal cord, brain and nerves 
must be referred to the investing membrane, the connective 
tissue, of the nerve-fibres. Disturbance of the function of the 
Silicea molecules causes a turgescence of the cells of the con- 
nective tissues involved. This swelling may remain stationary 
for a time, then disappear or occasion suppuration. 

General Action. — Silicea acts more upon the organic sub- 
stances of the body, involving prominently bones, joints, glands, 
skin and mucous surfaces, producing malnutrition and cor- 
responding to the scrofulous diathesis. Its action is deep and 
long-lasting. It is especially suited to imperfectly nourished 
constitutions, owing to deficient assimilation. 

It is the remedy for ailments attended with pus-forniatio?i, 
and is closely related to all fistulous burro wings. Wherever 
pus is formed in an inflamed part of connective tissue or skin, 
Silicea may be used. Deeply-seated scrofulous cachexia and 
some forms of septic infections (vaccine) find in it a valuable 
general remedy. Like Calc. sulph., Silicea corresponds to the 
process of suppuration, with the following distinguishing fea- 
tures: Silicea ripens abscess, since it promotes suppuration. 
Calc. sulph., by restraining the suppurative process, heals .suppu- 
rating wounds. As long as infiltration, which can only disap- 
pear by suppuration, lasts, Silicea is the remedy, and should be 
continued until all the infiltrated parts have disappeared. If 
then the wound fails to heal, give Calc. sulph. Ailments affect- 
ing the periosteum. Deep-seated suppurations, pus thick and 
yellow; also in certain reflex affections connected with the 
nerves. After suppuration has ceased to be active, but the pro- 
cess lingers and the pus forms chronic depots, small or large, 
fistulous or otherwise ; also, where the general organism is both 
irritable and weak, and the nervous system is easily aroused to 
-exhausting agitation (as Dunham says, it is contraindicated 



126 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

by general nerve torpor), this is a specific remedy. In local- 
ized exhaustion, when the symptoms resemble paialysis — e. g. y 
rectal distention, dilated and irritable heart, great general de- 
bility, as after lying in — it should always be thought of. In 
general hyperesthesia and exaggerated reflexes. 

Silicea has also the power to reabsorb a bloody or sero- 
albuminous exudate, existing within the tissues by means of 
the lymphatics. Here it often follows Calc. phos. 

Silicea cures chronic gouty rheumatic affections by means of 
its stimulating effects of the involved connective tissue cells, 
compelling these to throw off the accumulated urates through 
the lymphatics. 

Silicea can restore suppressed foot-sweats, and in this way be 
an indirect remedy for diseases resulting from suppression of 
foot-sweat, for instance: Amblyopia, cataract, paralyses, etc. 

If the cells of any part of the connective tissue show a lack 
of Silicea molecules, they atrophy in consequence.

the feet, or from cold. 

Homeopathic Data. — This drug was proved by Hahnemann. 
The first record of it appeared in the Chronic Diseases, vol. iii, 
in 1828. 

Administration. — Schiissler recommends the 6x and the i2x 
potencies, but in the Homeopathic school the most brilliant 
results have followed the use of the higher attenuations (see 
Clinical Cases, Part III). Its external application is also recom- 
mended by Schiissler and others, in carbuncles, ulcers, ulcer- 
ation of womb, abscess, ozsena as a spray, etc. Massive and 
repeated doses are indicated in scrofulous, glandular swellings 
without suppurations. But where there is actual suppuration, 
or even a tendency thereto, high potencies (30th) help in 
chronic cases, one dose daily, or even less often, in subacute 
cases, morning and evening — in acute cases from two to three 
hours. An effective method of using Silicea locally is to make 
a strong decoction of hay. This contains a large percentage 
of Silicea. The silicate of soda should be given in free solu- 
tion. Percy Wilde, M.D., who introduced this valuable prepa- 
ration of Silicea, gives three to four drops three times daily, and 
each dose is given in one-third of a tumbler of water, or, better 



132 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

still, in milk. The effect of the remedy must be watched, as it 
is apt to cause active changes in the tumor within forty-eight 
hours (see Tumors, Part III). 

Relationship. — In suppuration compare Calcarea sulph., the 
difference being that Silicea promotes suppuration and brings 
the process to maturity, whereas Calc. sulph. heals the process 
by checking it and promoting the healthy granulation. For 
results from impure vaccination we have, besides Silicea and 
Thuja, Kali mur., which, according to Schiissler, is the one 
remedy necessary. The Silicea headache is similar to Spigel., 
Paris, Picric acid, Coccul., Gelsem. and Sangitin. In fistula 
lachrymalis compare Natr. mur. and Petrol. In whitlow and 
ingrowing toe-nail, when Silicea fails, Graphit. often succeeds. 
In caries and periostitis compare Asa/., Graphit., Conium, 
Platina mur. In tabes compare Alumina, Ruta. Silicea is a 
chronic Pulsat.; it corresponds to the chronic form of such 
diseases as Pulsat. cures when acute. Pulsat. grows on sandy 
bottom, and probably contains Silicea as one of its constituents. 
In bone diseases it resembles closely Mercur., but it should not 
be given after Mercur., as it may much complicate the case. 
(Gilchrist.) 

In Moleschott's Kreislauf des Lebens, he says that the ashes 
of Equiset. hyem. consist nearly wholly of Silicea. The cures 
of bladder troubles reported by Equiset. are probably due to 
the Silicea it contains. The mineral springs of Bareges, in the 
Pyrenees, contain an unusually large amount ol Silicea in a 
valuable form, and this spa has been singled out by empirical 
experience as most valuable in the class of cases for which Sili- 
cea is Homceopathically indicated. (Percy Wilde, M. D.) 

In labyrinthine vertigo compare Natr. salicy. In ulceration 
around the nails, Psorinum is invaluable. Allied remedies: 
Fluoric acid, Picric acid, Hypericum, Ruta, Mercur., etc. 



PART III. 



Therapeutical Application of the Twelve 
Tissue Remedies. 



ABSCESS. 



Ferrum phos. — This is the first remedy to be given in all 
cases of boils, carbuncles, felons, or any suppurative process, 
where there are present fever, heat, throbbing pain and conges- 
tion in the parts. This remedy, if given early, will often abort 
suppuration. 

Kali mur. — Is indicated in the second stage of boils, car- 
buncles, felons, abscess, etc., where there is swelling, but as 
yet no pus formation ; especially is it indicated in abscesses of 
the breast, with the above characteristics. It may be given in 
carbuncles, boils and other suppurative processes to abort swell- 
ing before matter forms. It may also be used as a lotion, ap- 
plied externally on lint. 

Natrum sulph. — Fistulous abscesses of years' standing, dis- 
charging watery pus, surrounded by a broad, bluish border. 
Burrowing abscesses. A single dose of the 3d trituration gives 
everything a favorable turn; the abscesses collapse, the fistu- 
lous canals dry up. (Grauvogl.) Paronychia, inflammation or 
suppuration around roots of nails. 

Silicea. — When suppuration appears this remedy should be 
exhibited at once. It greatly assists the suppurative process, 
causing the tumor rapidly to ripen, and often to break spon- 
taneously. It is to follow Kali mitr. in those cases where pus 
has commenced to form, as in mammary abscess, especially if 
Kali mur. has failed to abort the suppuration. After the ab- 
scess breaks or is opened, this remedy should be continued as 
long as infiltration remains. Silicea is also useful in blind 



134 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

boils. In whitlow Silicea assists and controls the formation of 
pus and stimulates the growth of new nails. The use of Silicea 
in all casses of commencing whitlow cannot be overestimated. 
A dose every two hours will usually cure the felon in twenty- 
four hours. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Calcarea sulph. — This remedy follows Silicea well in suppu- 
rative processes, when, notwithstanding the absence of infiltra- 
tion, the suppuration continues, owing to the torpidity of the 
affected tissues. It is useful in boils, gathered breasts, whitlow 
or felon, when they are discharging. It will abort felons and 
furuncles in the I2x. (W. E. L.) The presence of pus with a 
vent is an indication for its use. The distinguishing features 
between this remedy and Silicea, in abscesses, are these : Silicea 
ripens abscesses, since it promotes suppurating ; Calcarea sulph. 
heals suppurating wounds, since it restrains the suppurative 
process. It lacks the fetor of Silicea. This remedy is similar 
to Hepar sulph., but it acts more deeply and intensely. Painful 
abscesses about anus. 

Kali phos. — This remedy is indicated in abscesses, carbun- 
cles, felons and other suppurative processes when there are 
adynamic symptoms and the suppurative process becomes un- 
healthy. The pus is ichorous, bloody, offensive and dirty-look- 
ing. In mastitis when the pus is brownish, dirty and foul. 

Calcarea fluor. — When the suppurative process affects the 
bone, or where there are hard, callous edges to the wound, then 
this remedy will be found effective. In felons a lotion on lint 
externally has been found to do good. "It is an invaluable 
remedy in pelvic abscess proceeding from caries of some bone." 
(Southwick.) "In old cases of fistulous sinuses of the mam- 
mae I have found this remedy especially valuable." (J. W. 
Ward, M. D.) 

CLINICAL CASES 

A lady, Mrs. B., suffering from swelling of the leg below the knee, had 
been attended some mouths by her doctor, who had poulticed it, and had 
opened it with a lancet ; but there was no discharge. She was unable to 
walk. It was then painted with iodine without effect ; then bandaged to 
reduce the excessively hard swelling, and cokl water poured over it thrice 
a day. Some parts were blue-looking on removing the bandage. It felt 



ABSCESS. 135 

cold and very hard, and looked as if ready to burst ; almost twice its usual 
size. Warm fomentations and Kali mur., taken internally and applied ex- 
ternally, cured the leg in three weeks. (From Schiissler. ) 

In August, 18877, a young man, who had suffered from sciatica some 
years ago, and had been in the habit of having subcutaneous injections of 
morphia, developed a boil 011 the seat. This discharged freely, and would 
not heal. When at last it seemed to be healed and was comparatively well, 
the patient took cold. Suppuration began again, and this time the dis- 
charge was excessive. His mother became alarmed, as he was very weak 
and had no appetite. His sleep was disturbed, and he felt a constant thirst. 
I prescribed Silicea — a dose every morning on an empty stomach. After 
one week the mother was able to furnish the very favorable report: "The 
discharge of matter has been reduced so much that at one time it seemed 
gone altogether. The great thirst has left him, and his appetite has re- 
turned; his sleep is sound, and the shivery, chilly feeling he had has com- 
pletely gone." Silicea has here furnished a brilliant demonstration of its 
power over suppuration, with its characteristic accompanying symptoms. 
(Dr. Goulloii, Jr.) 

A dressmaker, in her busiest season, to her dismay, got a felon on the 
right thumb. Ferrum phosP in water, every three hours, promptly re- 
lieved and she supposed cured it. She used it vigorously, and within three 
•days it reappeared with greatly increased pain and hard swelling. Kali 
mur} 2 finished the cure at once, a single drop of pus appearing beneath 
the cuticle and escaped when snipped with the scissors. (J. C. Morgan, 
M. D.) 

An old gentleman came into my office with tenonitis of the second pha- 
langes. The whole hand was full of thick, yellow pus; had been sore for 
three months; sleep was a stranger to him; he had been poulticed, lanced 
and morphined, until the physicians (allopathic) had decided to remove the 
finger — in fact he came to town for that purpose. His physician being out 
of the city he came into my office to have me look at it. I told him to let 
the finger remain on the hand; that although the flexors were all rotten — 
eaten off — and the periosteum inflamed, yet the finger could be cured. I 
injected Eucalyptus into the orifice, and it permeated the wmole finger and 
up into the hand. After cleansing the sores I wrapped it up comfortably 
tight and put him on Silicea?, a dose every three hours; nothing else was 
given him; the Eucalyptus dressing was continued every day, and in four 
weeks the finger was restored to its natural size and shape; but the flexors 
being all destroyed he could not flex the fingers. The Silicea, however, 
restored all the connective tissue-elements, and the man was well satisfied 
with the cure. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Silicea has proved an excellent remedy. Within the last month I was 
able to cure a young lady, set. 16; I did not see her myself. The mother 
came to me and told me her daughter had been suffering for the past few 
months from her right foot. The medical men treating her declared that 
the foot must be amputated. It was fearfully swollen; the discharge of 
matter was excessive. Her leg was almost bent to a right angle at the 
knee-joint, and could absolutely not be stretched out. I advised her to 



136 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

give up all internal as well as external remedies, and prescribed Silicea, to 
be taken once daily. Three months later the patient came herself, walking 
without any assistance. The foot was almost completely healed, with only 
a slight discharge of matter. Thus I succeeded in a case of discharge of 
matter from the ear, which had been treated for a long time ineffectually, 
and caused the patient severe pain da)" and night. This case was also- 
cured with Silicea. (From Schiissler.) 

In a case of abscess of the breast of several weeks duration in which no 
single remedy or alternated remedies appeared to have any power to pre- 
vent or heal, in desperation I combined Calc. fluor., Calc. sulph. and Silicea 
in one glass, with the happiest effect. In a few days it was well. It would 
appear that combinations are sometimes good. I used the 30th potency. 
(E. H. H.) 

ADDISON'S DISEASE. 

Natrum mur. — When nutrition is greatly impaired, tension 
and heat in the region of the kidneys ; earthy complexion,, 
brown spots upon the back of the hands, excessive mental and 
physical prostration ; trembling of legs, dim vision, want ot 
appetite, nausea, vomiting, loathing of meat, constipation. 
Aversion to motion and labor ; frequent yawning and stretch- 
ing ; cold extremities, depression of mind with irritibility \ 
vertigo on rising or on trying to walk. (Raue.) 

AMENORRHEA. 

Suppression of Menses. 

Kali mur. — Sluggish liver; white coated tongue, and gland- 
ular inactivity. 

Kali phos. — Suppression of flow with depressed spirits, lassi- 
tude and debility, where chest difficulties appear as a result of 
suppression. 

Kali sulph. — Scanty or suppressed menses, with weight and 
fulness in abdomen. 

Natrum mur. — In young girls, when the menses do not 
appear, or when scanty and at long intervals. 

Calcarea phos. — Amenorrhcea in anaemic patients. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
1. Case of a young girl whose menses had not appeared for several 
months, and who began to have chest difficulties as a consequence thereof. 



ANEMIA. 137 

Kali phos.' M , dose night and morning. The menses soon re-appeared, and 
in four weeks she had no more chest pains. 

2. A girl, set. 22, who always had scanty menses, which during the past 
year had completely ceased, and caused head and eye troubles, received, 
Ma3' 12, 1887, Kali phos., six powders. After using it six days the menses 
reappeared with violent headache and lasted seven days, and her other 
troubles gradually disappeared. (Monabsblatter.) 

ANEMIA. 

Calcarea phos. — This remedy acts by supplying new blood- 
cells. Pains and cramps dependent on anaemic conditions. 
Waxy appearance of the skin due to anaemia. Chlorosis, 
complexion waxy, greenish-white, with constant headache 
and ringing in ears. Schiissler gives this remedy alone for 
chlorosis. 

"A fine constitutional remedy in old cases of cerebral anae- 
mia where nutrition is manifestly defective." (Arndt.) 

"Pernicious anaemia, vertigo when getting up or on rising 
from sitting ; eyes misty ; epistaxis, point of the nose cold ; 
pale face, sallow, yellowish, earthy, cold sweat on the face ; 
body cold ; foul taste and smell ; tongue white, furred at the 
root most in the morning ; nausea and vomiturition ; empty,, 
sinking sensation at the epigastrium ; watery looseness of the 
bowels, with urging after stools day or night ; urine with floc- 
culent sediment; menorrhagia, blood either bright-red or too 
dark, palpitation with anxiety, followed by trembling weak- 
ness, particularly of the calves, weariness and the greatest 
weakness." (Arndt.) 

This remedy is also useful in leucaemia, or excess of white 
corpuscles in the blood after exhausting diseases. 

Ferrum phos. — Follows Calcarea phos. as soon as improve- 
ment of the general health sets in. There is a want of red 
blood in the system. This remedy, by its power of attracting 
oxygen, colors the new blood-cells red and enriches them after 
they have been supplied by Calcarea phos. Schiissler in a 
recent letter says : "Iron, which enters into the formation of 
young blood-cells, is never absent in the blood-serum of chloro- 
tics. Therefore I have lately abandoned iron, which I recom-

mended in the first editions of my Therapeutics for chlorosis 
and other anaemic conditions." 

Kali mur. — This remedy may have to be given in anaemia, 
as a secondary remedy or intercurrent, if such symptoms as 
eczema or eruptions of the skin coexist. 

Kali phos. — Cerebral anaemia, anaemic conditions of the 
brain, causing undue nervousness. Poverty of the blood from 
influences which continually depress the mind and nervous sys- 
tem. This remedy also cures the leucaemia, which is induced 
by long-continued disorders. "Spinal anaemia, from exhaust- 
ing diseases, such as diphtheria, reflex paraplegia, with aching 
pains aggravated by rest, but most manifest on beginning to 
move about." (Arndt.) 

Natrum mur. — In anaemic conditions, where the blood is 
thin and watery; in chlorotic conditions, with an almost 
habitual feeling of coldness in the back ; chlorosis in young 
girls, with dead, dirty skin, frequent palpitation, oppression 
and anxiety in the chest, morning cough, easily fatigued and 
prostrated, with the characteristic tongue, etc.; malarious ca- 
chexia, from ague and Quinine, sallow complexion or very 
pale, pressure and distension of the stomach, constipation with 
contraction of the anus, terrible sadness. 

Natrum phos. — Spinal anaemia, paralytic weakness of the 
lower extremities, with general prostration, heaviness and sen- 
sation of fatigue, especially after a short walk or ascending 
steps ; legs give way, so as to be unable to progress farther. 

Natrum sulph. — Hydraemia, sycosis, nydrogenoid constitu- 
tion of the body, depending upon dampness of weather or 
dwelling in damp houses ; sycosis and hydraemia. (Lilienthal.) 

Silicea. — L/eucorrhcea instead of menses; attacks of momen- 
tary blindness or obscuration of vision. Anaemia in infants, 
thin, delicate and puny, with tendency to rickets. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. S. Powell Burdick furnished us with two cases of anaemia, both in 
young ladies, set 19 and 21. Both presented the following characteristic 
symptoms : Pale, anaemic countenance, great exhaustion, depression of 
spirits, violent attacks of frontal headache extending to the occiput. The

youngest had suffered from this condition for six or seven years, and re- 
ceived treatment from several physicians, Homoeopathic and allopathic, 
receiving from the latter large quantities of iron, without any benefit what- 
ever. The eldest had also been anaemic for several years. All their symp- 
toms were promptly relieved, the color returning even to rosy cheeks ; the 
ears, which were formerly pale and almost translucent, became reddish 
and natural in color. The remedies employed were first Calcarea fthos, 12 , 
for ten days or two week, followed by Ferritin phos? 1 , for two weeks, then 
returning to the Calcarea phos. again. About six months sufficed to cure 
permanently in each case. 

Young lady, 3et. 17, became anesmic and chlorotic, after long continu- 
ance at school, becoming so debilitated that she could attend no longer, 
had no appetite, and desired only to lie about the house, having no ambi- 
tion to go anywhere or do an3?thing. Her study made her head ache, and 
she had to give it up entirely ; her menses were irregular, absent for 
months, then a flow varying in quantity. I gave her Calcarea ft/ws. 6 , as 
principal remedy, giving also, at times, Fernim phos. as well. After a few 
months she became well enough to resume her studies, and could walk 
anywhere she desired to go, and her color improved. (C. T. M.) 

ANEURISM. 

Calcarea fluor. — This disease at an early stage may be kept 
in check or reduced with the use of this, the chief remedy, in 
alternation with Ferritin phos., provided that the iodide of pot- 
ash has not been taken. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy should be used early to estab- 
lish normal circulation and remove those complications due to 
excessive action of the heart ; can also be alternated with the 
preceding with good effect. In small aneurisms with a great 
deal of throbbing. 

ANGINA PECTORIS. 

Magnesia phos. — This remedy may be given for the neu- 
ralgic spasms of this disease. It had best be given in hot 
water. Neuralgic constrictive pains in chest. 

Ferrum phos. — If accompanied by flushed face, burning or 
diffused heat, this remedy may be alternated with the pre- 
ceding. 

Kali phos. — If the heart's action be weak or intermittent 
and if there be tendency to fainting this remedy should be used 
alternately with Magnesia phos. 



140 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

APHONIA. 

See also Hoarseness. 

Ferrum phos. — Huskiness after singing or speaking in 
singers or public speakers, with soreness in the larynx. 

ARTHRITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — At the commencement this remedy should 
be given in repeated doses when there are febrile symptoms 
present, and later on in the disease it may be given as an inter- 
current. The joints are painful on moving, motion sets up 
and increases the pain. Tenalgia crepitans. 

Kali mur. — In acute arthritis, for the swelling or when the 
tongue is coated white. It may be alternated with Ferrum 
phos. Movement aggravates the pains. It is useful especially 
after Ferrum phos. Tenalgia crepitans. 

Natrum mur. — Chronic arthritis, joints crack (if tongue 
and other symptoms correspond, acts probably by increasing- 
the eliminations of the urate of sodium). Synovitis, gout, sore 
hamstrings (verified). 

Natrum phos. — Acute gout (after Ferr. phos.). Chronic 
gout, profuse, sour- smelling sweat. Rheumatic arthritis, especi- 
ally of finger joints. Urine dark red. Pains go suddenly to 
heart; sore hamstrings. 

Magnesia phos. — Useful as an intercurrent remedy for the 
pains (violent). The keynote is excruciating pains, spasmodic 
in character. 

Kali sulph. — In rheumatic arthritis where the pains shift 
from one joint to another, aggravated by heat. Shifting and 
wandering rheumatic pains in the joints. Fungoid arthritis. 
Tumor albus, white swelling. 

Silicea. — Suppuration of the joints. 

Calcarea sulph. — Suppurative process in the joints. 

Natrum sulph. — In acute cases (attacks) of gout. This 
remedy should be alternated with Ferrum phos. In chronic 
gout it alone suffices. Gout in the feet, acute and chronic. 



ASTHMA. 141 

Rheumatic arthritis, especially in joints of fingers, pains sud- 
denly go to heart, urine dark-red. 

Calcarea phos. — Rheumatic gout worse at night and in bad 
weather. Hygroma patellae. Hydrops genu. 

Calcarea fluor. — Gouty enlargements of the finger-joints. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Rheumatic pains in joints of the feet, aggravated by motions; Bryon. and 
Kali iod having failed, Ferrum phos., 10th dil., cured. — Pop. Zeitschrift, 
Berlin, 1886. 

A shoemaker of Berlin was taken ill after catching cold. There was fever 
with violent pain in the right shoulder. The first visit I paid was on the 
third day after he had been taken ill ; temperature high, pulse full and 
quick, thirst and loss of appetite. The right shoulder was very red and 
sensitive to the touch. He was not able to lie in his bed, as the pressure 
of the pillows was unbearable. He was lying on the sofa, supported with 
cushions, so that the shoulder should be free from pressure. I gave my 
patient Ferrum phos., as much as would cover a sixpenny piece. This 
was dissolved in a large glassful of water, and a teaspoonful of the solution 
given every hour. Improvement was felt even after a few hours. During 
the night the patient was able to sleep, and on the following day the fever 
abated; in three days he was able to move the arm pretty freely. In a few 
days longer he was entirely well. (Sulzer. — From Schiissler.) 

ASTHMA. 

Kali phos. — Nervous asthma. In large and oft-repeated 
■doses is the chief remedy for the breathing and depressed con- 
dition of the nervous system. Hay asthma and hay fever. 
Asthma from the least food. 

Kali mur. — With gastric derangements. Tongue coated 
whitish or greenish, furred, and mucus white, and hard to 
cough up; when this occurs with depression of breathing, al- 
ternate with Kali phos. Cardiac asthma with sensation as if 
heart and lungs were constricted. 

Natrum mur. — Asthma with profuse frothy mucus. In 
alternation with Kali phos.; also when the tears stream down 
the face whenever he coughs. Spasmodic jerking with each 
inspiration. 

Calcarea phos. — Bronchial asthma intercurrently, secretion 
•clear and tough. Child gets a suffocative attack on being lifted 
•up from cradle. 



142 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea fluor. — When specks or small lumps are brought 
up after much exertion. In alternation with Kali phos. These 
lumps being of yellowish mucus. Oppressed respiration. Epig- 
lottis feels closed, or as if breathing through a thick substance. 

Magnesia phos. — In asthma where flatulence is troublesome. 
Spasmodic nervous asthma. With paroxysmal dry tickling 
cough and difficulty in lying down. 

Kali sulph. — Asthma, bronchial, with yellow expectoration, 
worse in the warm season or in hot atmosphere. Much rat- 
tling of mucus. In asthma, when the patient's attacks come 
on after taking food, and his color becomes bad, or when there 
are rapid emaciation, or sunken eyes, Dr. Rapp recommends 
the Kali preparations. (Schussler.) 
yi O ^ a Natrum phos. — Asthma with thick yellow expectoration. 

Natrum sulph. — Very important as a remedy for the sycotic 
taint, of which asthma is often a manifestation. Attacks, espe- 
cially in the morning about 4 or 5 o'clock, with cough and 
raising of glairy slime, expectoration greenish and copious, and 
vomiting after eating ; always worse in damp, rainy weather, 
from living in basements or cellars. Asthma from digestive 
disturbances. Iyoose evacuations on rising in morning. 
Asthma in children. Asthmatic breathing in young people 
from a general bronchial catarrh, always worse from every 
change to damp weather. 

Silicea. — Breathing so difficult that the eyes protrude from 
their sockets ; doors and windows must be opened, always dur- 
ing a thunderstorm. As a constitutional remedy with Natrum 
sulph. for eradication of the disease. Asthma on a cachectic 
base. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Female, married, set. 36, asthma, attack violent, greenish, purulent ex- 
pectoration, a loose evacuation immediately on rising for past two days ; 
Natrum sulph.™ every two hours. Was enabled to lie down that night,, 
respiration and cough much improved and expectoration easier. Next day 
practically well. 

Female, married, set. 42, subject to attacks for years; expectoration 
greenish and remarkably copious ; Natrum sulph. every three hours.. 
Improvement began after a few doses, expectoration becoming paler and 



ATROPHY. 143 

less abundant, has felt better since than for years, and one noteworthy fact 
is that the expectoration stopped in a few doses, whereas under remedies 
given in previous attacks it had continued for weeks, thus indicating that 
<>*WA_the Natrum sulph. had gotten at the root of the evil. (Wm. J. Guernsey, 
M. D.) 

Dr. O. H. Hall, of Zumbrota, Minn., reports a remarkable case of asthma 
having passed "through the hands of all the physicians of whom he had 
ftLtLjzxer heard," cured by Kali phos. 2x. Eighteen mouths had passed at 
time of writing without an attack. — Minn. Med. Monthly, Nov., 1886. 

Mr. C. has for years had attacks of asthmatic breathing, so marked as to 
herald his approach at some distance, and coming on after any unusual 
exertion. He is a tall, strong man, with no family history of lung trouble, 
albeit rather narrow-chested. Examination of the lungs during a period 
of remission disclosed no lesion or abnormal sounds, except coarse rales 
along the larger bronchi. In April, 1887, an especially severe attack, 
brought on by severe physical exertion, "the worst spell" he has ever 
had, was promptly relieved by Natrum sulph. 200 , and occasional doses since 
have caused the attacks to disappear almost entirely for the first time in 
many summers. (Wm. B- Leonard, M. D. ) 

Mrs. E., a lady under my care the past year for chronic bronchitis and 
other troubles, was seized on July 9th with her third annual attack of hay 
fever — rose cold, or hay asthma, as you please — having contracted the 
same in Florida. She had formerly been entirely prostrated and forced to, 
bed by these seizures, and dreads them much. Her husband came to me 
in the evening, a few hours after the sneezing and harsh breathing began, 
and begged of me to check it if possible. I learned from him that she 
could not lie down; her breathing was aggravated upon the least motion 
and accompanied by arching out between the scapulas. No other point 
could be elicited that would lead to the more ordinary medicines ; indeed, 
all these had been tried by other physicians in former attacks. I had found 
Natrum mur. to relieve her troubles greatly, and so gave Natrum sulph. 200 , 
with strong promise of relief. Nor were we disappointed ; she fell asleep 
in an hour or so after beginning her half-hour doses, and in a few days all 
signs of asthma were gone. On July 18th no signs of asthmatic breathing 
could be heard over her lungs, whereas her former attacks had made her 
wholly miserable for weeks. (Wm. B. Leonard, M. D.) 



ATROPHY.

Ferrum phos. — Pains in the back and loins and over kidney. 
Rheumatic pains felt only on moving. 

Kali mur. — Useful after Ferritin phos., if the latter fails to 
relieve. 

Kali phos. — Pains which are laming. The parts affected 
feel powerless, gentle movement gradually lessening the pain 
and stiffness, yet too much exertion increasing the pain (such 
as walking too far). This kind of pain is always worse after 
rising from a sitting posture and at the commencement of 
motion. 

Calcarea phos. — Pains with a feeling of numbness, coldness, 
or with a creeping sensation ; worse in the night and during 
rest. Can also be given alternately with Ferrum phos. After 
exhausting disease. Backache in the lumbar region in the

the evening, better in the open air (cool). Shifting and chang- 
ing about. 

Magnesia phos. — Pains vivid, shooting, boring, intermit-

BONES, DISEASES OF. 

Calcarea phos. — Useful to aid the process of repair in frac- 
tures. When the bones are weak and soft, caused by soft 
sponginess, due to want of phosphate of lime molecules. Rachi- 
tis, bowlegs in children. Also, for ulceration of bone and

ease. 

10 



146 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Kali mur. — Second stage of ostitis. 

Kali phes. — Atrophy of bones with foul diarrhoea. 

Silicea. — Indication in nearly all diseases of bones. Fistu- 
lous openings, discharge offensive. Parts around hard, swol- 
len, bluish-red ; fibrous parts of joints, especially of the knee, 
inflamed. Ulceration of bone, periosteal ulceration. All ex- 
cretions offensive, pus, stool, sweat, etc. Hip joint disease. 

Silicea is oftener indicated and has cured more cases of caries 
and necrosis than any other remedy. It is a deeply penetrat- 
ing remedy, and, while closely resembling Mercur. in its sphere 
of action, care must be taken not to administer it after Mercur., 
as it may much complicate the case. It is more suitable for 
chronic cases, or after the first stage is past. (Gilchrist.) No 
other drug so hastens the elimination of the dead bony parti- 
cles to the largest piece of sequestrum so necessary to the cure 
of scrofulous diseases of the bones. In many forms of caries, 
necrosis and in enchondroma of the bones, Grauvogl recom- 
mends, as a popular and very effective remedy, hay-baths. 
Their efficacy depends on the presence of Silicea, which has 
been found as a chemical constituent in a state of solution in 
hay-baths — three drams of hay containing about one-half a 
grain of Silicea. Hence the usefulness of this local measure 
in diseases of the bone is apparent. 

Calcarea sulph. — Ulceration of bone. Craniotabes. 

Calcarea fluor. — Hard, rough, corrugated elevations on the 
surface of the bones. Useful in cephal-hsematoma (so-called 
blood-tumor), on the parietal bones of new born infants. 
Bruises of bones. Exstoses after injuries. Diseases of bones ; 
caries leading .to formation of pelvic abscesses. Affections of the 
nasal bones, causing bad odor to disappear. Nodes and hard 
bone swellings. Caries in consequence of syphilis or abuse of 
mercury. Spina ventosa, osteosarcoma. Malnutrition of bones, 
especially of the teeth. Osseous growths, especially in the 
carpal and tarsal articulations. Suppuration of bones. 

Magnes phos. — Spina ventosa alternately with Calc. fluor. 

Natrum sulph. — Sycosis. Pain in bones, cracking of joints, 
knees stiff. 



BONES, DISEASES OF 1 47 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Enchondroma Indicis. — A maiden lady of 60 had a shiny swelling on 
her left index finger, which had been there for eighteen months. The lump 
was hard and painful, and of about the size of a small split walnut, but 
rather flatter. Patient was very nervous and depressed. Calcarea fluor. 
3x, six grains four times a day. After two weeks the cartilaginous nature 
had clearly left, and swelling became softer and smaller and disappeared 
entirely within three months. No change was made in diet or place of 
abode. (J. C. Burnett, M. D.) 

Injury to the tibia of some } ? ears' standing; a painful growth appeared on 
the seat of the injury. This was diagnosed as an osteosarcoma by a prom- 
inent surgeon, who advised an operation. Calcarea fluor. relieved the pain 
and reduced the growth. (L. A. Bell, M. D., Hahnemannian Monthly ', 
April, 1887.) 

Dr. Hansen, of Copenhagen, reports in the Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1886, p. 44, 
a case of caries of the tibia of three years' standing; fistulous openings led 
•down to the bone, thiough which splinters of dead bone were being dis- 
charged constantly, the secretion therefrom being thick and yellow, accom- 
panied by boring nightly pains. Calcarea fluor. , 6 cured completely in five 
months. 

Enchondroma cured by Siucea. (From Grauvogl's Text-book.) Boy, 
set. 14, metacarpal bones of ring and index and middle fingers and thumb 
of right hand were swollen to such a degree that oval, hard, knobby masses 
of uniform surface were formed; joints obliterated and immovable for the 
past six months. These parts were, at various points, divested of their 
skin by ulcerated surfaces, under which the bones gave a rough sound to 
the probe, and places were found here and there which could easily be 
penetrated, and others again which offered resistance. The boy had no 
appetite, and was kept at work by a potter, carrying clay. Great pain in 
the suffering parts, drowsiness during the day, lassitude and depression. 
According to the doctrines of surgery, there was no other help but disar- 
ticulation at the wrist, with a loss of the right hand, since only the little 
finger and its metacarpal bones seemed free from the disease. Siltcea 6 , five 
drops every two hours. In eighty days the superficial ulcers began to cica- 
trize and the tuberous formations had manifestly decreased in extent. 
After fourteen days more the joints were already movable, though the mo- 
bility was very much restricted. After another fortnight all the concomi- 
tant symptoms which had been present disappeared, appetite returned, boy 
was lively and of good cheer ; and discharged cured. 

A child, aet. 3, tad disease of the bone of the forefinger of the left hand, 
midway between the knuckle and next joint. There was a slight whitish 
discharge from a minute opening, and the flesh was much swollen and dis- 
colored at the place, causing the finger to present a very unpleasant appear- 
ance. A physician had, after treating it unsuccessfully, advised amputation 
of the finger, but the family, not desiring this result of the trouble, decided 
to try other remedies. Gave her Silicea G , in solution, which produced im- 
provement at once, and in a few weeks cured the disease in the bone, and 
the finger resumed its natural appearance, except a slight scar. (C. T. M.) 



148 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Dr. C. F. Nichols reports a number of cases of osseous growths cured and 
benefited by Calcarea fluor } 2 {Organon, 1880.) 

SivOW Union of Fracture. — Man, set. 60, had a fracture of the shaft of 
the femur. It remained movable, in spite of great care, after two months. 
Calcarea phos. e was given, at first every night; later, every second night. 
At once the fracture grew firm and was soon well. This is certainly better 
than instrumental interference. Eighteen months later, the same femur 
sustained another fracture in its lower portion. The drug was given in like 
manner as before, but from the beginning. It was well in two mouths. 
(J. C. Morgan, M. D.) 

In the case of a poor orphan girl, aet. 14, Silicea saved her from having 
her foot amputated. She had been under treatment a long time for bone 
disease. Her medical man saw no alternative, as the evil only grew worse, 
but to make arrangements with the infirmary surgeon to have it taken off. 
This was agreed on, six days before removing her. Her friends were 
greatly distressed and applied for the new remedies. Silicea, a dose every 
hour, was steadily taken, and lotion on lint externally applied. On the 
fifth day the ankle-bone and surrounding tissues presented such a healthy 
appearance that all cause for amputation was removed. She continued the 
treatment for a short time louger, and her case was pronounced perfectly 
cured. (M. D. W., from Schiissler. )

CLINICAL CASES. 

J. C. Morgan, in the Transactiofis Pennsylvania Homoeopathic Medical 
Society, 1882, p. 172, reports some cases of brain troubles in children in 
which convulsive symptoms were prominent, benefited and cured by Mag- 
nesia phos, , 30 . 

The following is from an elderly gentleman, Mr. J. M., who had suffered 



BRAIN-FAG. 149 

from a prolonged attack of acute and subacute inflammation of the brain. 
He recovered slowly, but symptoms of softening of the brain set in. He 
was anxious to give the new remedies a trial. His speech was affected; he 
seemed to lose momentary consciousness, could not hurry, though he saw 
himself in great danger of being run over, or stop walking when danger- 
ously close to the qua}-, and could not be trusted out alone: "I think it is 
time I were again informing you that I still continue to improve; indeed, I 
have little to complain of except occasionally — only occasionally — a feel- 
ing of mental stupor, the best remedy for which I have found to be Kali 
phos. which you recommended to me." (M. D. W., from Schiissler.) 



BRAIN-FAG. 

Calcarea phos. — Nervous prostration, with depression of 
spirits; profuse night-sweats; pale, wan and emaciated coun- 
tenance; loss of virile power; habitual coldness and venous 
congestion of the extremities from debility, sleeplessness and 
loss of appetite ; numb sensations. 

Silicea. — Confusion, difficulty of fixing attention. Yielding 
and anxious mood. Reading and writing fatigue, cannot bear 
to think. Sense of great debility, but patient can arouse him- 
self, has grit, but soon tires and is compelled to rest. 

Kali phos. — To restore lost nervous energy: Cover the 
whole field of neurasthenia. 

Natrum mur.— With sleeplessness, gloomy forebodings, ex- 
haustion after talking, embarrassment of the brain. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
The patient came to California with a modest fortune, which he has lost 
in unfortunate speculations — a common occurrence. Anxiety, business 
cares and overwork had been telling upon him for mouths. Finally, about 
three months ago, while on the local train going home, he suddenly exper- 
ienced a peculiar cerebral sensation, and became unconscious, but in a few 
minutes recovered, and asked the conductor to assist him from the train 
when he arrived at the station, and had the presence of mind to remember 
a bundle which lay on the seat at his side, but was still dizzy and confused. 
After arriving at home, he experienced a severe spasmodic pain in the car- 
diac region, which w T as accompanied by faintness, shortness of breath, and 
coldness of the extremities. This lasted several hours, and continued 
thereafter to return for two weeks or more, without improvement, some- 
times several times a day, at irregular intervals. This finally was attended 
by more or less mental weakness at times; and, as his physician informed 
him that he was suffering from an organic affection of the brain, the result 
of apoplexy, he became very despondent. 



150 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

After three or four weeks he improved somewhat, but, in performing 
some trivial manual labor about his home, he experienced a relapse; and, 
as his physician insisted that his da}-s were few, he concluded to try an 
eclectic physician, as he employed one in the East formerly as his family 
adviser. 

When the patient came, in company with his wife, we found the case an 
unpromising one. He was past sixty years of age, of careworn appear- 
ance, despondent, and presenting marked evidence of nervous exhaustion. 
There was no paralysis however, and no evidence of any loss of motor or 
sensory function, and upon making the effort we found he could call into 
use all his reasoning faculties. He complained of sleepless nights from 
lancinating pains in the left chest and left side ol the face. 

The prescription was Kali phos. 3X, to restore lost nervous energy, and 
Magnesia phos. for the spasmodic pains. Add five grains to a tumbler half 
full of water, each agent to be dissolved in a separate glass, and alternating 
give a teaspoonful every hour during the day, and until bedtime. In about 
a week the patient returned for more medicine, and marked improvement 
was observable. The careworn, despondent appearance of countenance 
had more of an expression of comfort and hope. He said he was better; 
had felt but one spasmodic attack since beginning the medicine, and could 
now go about and do light chores without becoming exhausted, and slept 
well all night. In another week his wife reported him as well as ever. — 
Editor California Medical Journal. 



BRONCHITIS AND BRONCHIAL CATARRH. 

Ferrum phos. — Takes the place of Aeon, in the acute 
inflammatory stage, or in chronic bronchitis when a fresh 
aggravation sets in. It should be given in alternation with, 
the remedy indicated by the expectoration. Any inflammatory 
irritation of the bronchi, accompanied with dyspnoea, heat, or 
burning soreness. Breathing short, oppressed and hurried. 
Capillary bronchitis of young children. Acute, short, spasmodic 
and very painful cough. 

Kali mur. — In the second stage, when thick white phlegm 
forms, fibrinous in character. 

Kali sulph. — When the expectoration is distinctly yellow, 
watery and profuse, or where it is greenish, slimy and watery. 
In the stage of resolution. 

Natrum mur. — Acute inflammation of the windpipe, with 
frothy and clear watery phlegm, loose and rattling, sometimes 
coughed up with difficulty. Chronic bronchitis, bronchial

catarrh, "winter cough," with any of the above symptoms. 
Clear, watery, starchlike sputa. Secretion causes soreness and 
excoriation. Chronic forms, when sputum is transparent, viscid, 
weak voice, fluttering of heart. Patient is worse near the sea- 
shore.

ish-green, or mixed with blood, stage of resolution. Third 
stage of bronchitis. Ordinary catarrhal colds and in cases 
similar to those benefitted by Hepar sulph. 

Natrum sulph. — where exudation causes soreness and chaf- 
ing. Patient must hold his chest on coughing. Asthmatic

weather. 

Silicea. — Cough worse from cold and better from warm 
drinks. Puslike expectoration, falls to bottom of vessel con- 
taining water and spreads out like sediment. Bronchial affec- 
tions of rachitic children. Laryngeal morning cough. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
Numerous cases of bronchitis, broucho-pneutnonia and allied affections 
of the chest, especially in children, have been treated successfully with 
Ferrum phos., followed by or in alternation with Kali mur. Sometimes 
Bryon. has been found an excellent alternating remedy with Ferrum phos., 
no other treatment having been found necessary.

Kali mur. — Burns of the first degree, also those of the second. 
Blisters form, also scalds from boiling water. Can be applied 
externally. 

Calcarea sulph. — Burns when suppurating.

excellent for a predisposition to take cold, alternately with Cal- 
carea phos. "Ferritin phos. 3x in pharyngeal catarrh, with 
characteristic white, frothy expectoration, has never disppointed 
me." (W. R. King.) 

Kali mur. — Catarrh when there is white phlegm, thick, not 
transparent. Dry coryza. Stuffy cold in the head, with a 
whitish-gray tongue. Adherent crusts in the vault of the 
pharynx. "I use it often with profit in the purulent stage of 
acute nasal catarrh. Kali mur. has proved to me the most 
satisfactory remedies in acute inflammations of the naso- 
pharynx in which there is a decided burning dryness. The 
appearance is that of redness with marked thickening, almost 
as though the mucous membrane were solidly infiltrated." 
(Ivins.) Hawking of mucus from posterior nares. Syphilitic 
ozaena. 

Calcarea fluor. — Catarrh with expectoration of yellowish, 
small lumps. Dry coryza. Stuffy cold in the head (alternately 
with Kali mur.), with ineffectual desire to sneeze. Ozsena. 
Osseous growths and diseases of nasal bones, with offensive

frothy discharge, w T orse on going into the cold and on exertion. 
Influenza. Epistaxis from stooping and from coughing. 
Posterior nares dry. Loss of sense of smell.

skin when perspiration does not set in freely under use of 
Ferritin phos. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic catarrhs and colds in adynamic 
persons (as an intercurrent remedy). Colds in the head with 
an albuminous discharge from nose. Sneezing and sore nos-

trils. Dr. L. A. Bull says: U I frequently begin the treatment 
of chronic catarrhal conditions of the air-passages with Calcarea 
phos. I find that it has quite a decided tonic action, and in- 
fluences the conditions of the membranes for good. In many 
places it quite takes the place of the Cinchona preparations." 
Large pedunculated nasal polypi. Point of nose icy-cold. 
Swollen, ulcerated nose in scrofulous children. 

Calcarea sulph. — Cold in the head, with thick, yellow, 
opaque, mattery secretions, frequently tinged with blood. It 
clears up the condition of the mucous glands. Nosebleed. 

Natrum phos. — As an intercurrent, when gastric symptoms 
appear, such as acid risings and yellow base of tongue. Pick- 
ing at nose. Naso-pharyngeal catarrh, with thick, yellow

nose. 

Natrum sulph. — Nosebleed during menses. Ozaena syphi- 
litica, worse every change from dry to wet weather. Catarrhs 
■of mucous membranes in general, characterized by a tendency 
to profuse secretion of greenish mucus. This is the tissue 
remedy for la grippe, since the disease is caused by an excess 
of water in the cellular fluids. 

Kali phos. — Ozaena, foul, offensive discharge from nose, foul 
Dreath, and where secondary nervous troubles arise. Epistaxis 
and predisposition to same. Yellow crust blown from nose. 
Thick, yellow discharge; sneezes from slightest exposure.

Magnesia phos. — Loss or perversion of sense of smell. Al- 
ternate dry and loose coryza. Gushing flow from nostrils. 

Silicea. — Ozaena, with offensive discharge from nose, when 
the affection is seated in the submucous connective tissue or 
periosteum. (Syringe also with a solution of the same remedy.) 
Painful, chronic dryness of nose, or inveterate ulceration, pro- 
ducing acrid, corroding discharge; herpetic eruption around 
nostrils and lips. Itching of tip of nose. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. H. Goullon {Pop. Zeitschrift) praises Natrum phos. in chronic post, 
nasal catarrh, giving as indications the golden-yellow exudation and yellow 



154 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

tongue, etc., and relates a case cured by Natrum phos.'* after Kali bich. had 
failed, as well as everything else, and the patient had become hypochon- 
driacal. 

Case of thick, yellow, offensive ozaena, alternating with water}' discharge; 
has been affected with it for eighteen months; has lost taste and smell; left- 
nostril worse. Catamenia occur every three weeks. Takes cold very easily. 
Stillborn child three years ago. Gave three doses of Kali sulph. 12 in water, 
to be taken once a week. In one month reported catarrh entirely well; has 
regained much of the lost senses of smell and taste. (W. P. Wesselhceft, 
M.D.) 

Dr. Breuer, of Munich, reports a case of suppressed foot-sweat, resulting 
in protracted bronchial catarrh; cured by Calcarea sulph. and Silicea. — 
A. H. Z., 1883. 

Case of gentleman, light-complexioned. About once a week a thick,, 
dark brown semi-fluid accumulation of pus formed in the left upper nostril; 
on being blown out it emitted a terrible stench. About a month previous a. 
piece of carious bone was taken from the antrum highmori, through an 
upper left alveolus, from which a tooth had been drawn four years previ- 
ous. The probe entered the antrum freely. Calcarea, Silicea and several 
other remedies proved inefficacious. Three weeks after having taken two 
doses of Kali sulph.* in water, morning and evening, a tablespoonful for 
four days, nothing more remained of the discharge, and the alveolus closed 
so that no probe entered. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, M. D.) 



CHICKEN POX. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy alone, or alternately with the 
remedy indicated by the eruption, such as Kali mur., Calcarea 
sulph., Natrum sulph. or Silicea.

Magnesia phos. — Choleraic cramps. First stage. Watery 
diarrhoea with vomiting and cramps in calves. 



CHOREA. 155 

CLINICAL CASES. 
Old man attacked with severe vomiting and diarrhoea, cramps in calves 
and rice-water discharges. Kali phos. cured. (Schiissler. ) 

CHOREA. 

Calcarea phos. — In scrofulous children. 

Magnesia phos. — This is the chief remedy. Involuntary 
movements and contortions of the limbs, with mute, appealing 
looks for sympathy. Follow or alternate with Calcarea phos. 

Silicea. — When due to the presence of worms, spasms, sleep 
disturbed by frightful dreams, distorted eyes, pale face, canine 
hunger, irritation of nostrils, constipation, great thirst, oedema 
of face and extremities. 

Natrum mur. — Suitable for chronic cases, after fright or 
suppression of eruptions on the face, paroxysms of jumping 
regardless of obstructions, twitchings on the right side, worse 
at full moon, especially in anaemic and chlorotic states, with 
thirst and fever. 

Natrum phos. — If due to worms, or if acid symptoms are 
present. (See Silicea.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of chorea; face and upper part of body affected; lateral and down- 
ward jerking of the mouth, snapping of eyelids, sudden forward motion of 
head, and other irregular movements Better during sleep; aggravated at 
stool and by emotions Ignat. failed. Magnesia phos? for three months 
produced gratifying results, but did not fully cure. Acting on Dr. Schiiss- 
ler's advice, Calcarea phos. 6x was given alternately with the Magnesia phos. , 
the former once daily, the latter twice. In one month the child was cured. 
(D. B. Whittier, M. D.) 

Choreic patient talking to herself constantly, or sitting still in moody 
silence, or carrying things from one place to another and then back again. 
Magnesia phos. V1 cured. (Dr. Sager.) 

H. S. , set. 7. Chorea for two years, caused by fright; pale, delicate, 
anaemic, drinks much water, feverish, white tongue, sore mouth. Natrum 
■mur. 200 cured permanently. (C. P. Hart, M. D.) 

Chorea cured by Magnesia phos. — By Dr. John H. Clarke. — Gertrude 

S , aet. 6, was admitted to the London Homoeopathic Hospital, on 

March 30th, 1887. She had suffered from well-marked chorea during the 
preceding eight months, and the usual remedies for such conditions had 
been administered to her as an out-patient during the previous two months, 
with but small success. No definite cause was to be made out. The child 



156 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

did not suffer from worms, and there was no history of a fright. Ou admis- 
sion she twitched all over during her waking hours, but was quiet during 
sleep. She walked fairly well and could feed herself, but her speech was 
exceedingly defective. The heart's action was accelerated, but no abnor- 
mal sound was to be distinguished. Subsequently, however, a soft, pre- 
systolic, blowing sound was at times audible, as if the muscular fibres of 
the heart participated in the general spasms. The pupils were symmetri- 
cally dilated. Magnesia phos. was prescribed — two grains of the sixth 
decimal trituiation, three times daily. The improvement which followed 
was slow, but abundantly manifest. The general twitching became less; 
the articulation improved; the child took nourishment freely; slept well at 
night, and lost the scared expression so characteristic of the complaint. 
By May 17th no vestige of the chorea remained. On being directed to 
stand up, close the eyes, and hold the arms extended, she did so without 
difficulty. Subjected to the difficult test of walking blindfolded, she came 
through triumphantly. Lastly her powers of speech had so much im- 
proved that, whereas on her admission the meaning of her utterances was 
a matter of pure conjecture, by this date her remarks were quite intel- 
ligible. Thus within seven weeks this obstinate case of a very troublesome 
disease yielded completely to Magnesia phos — oue of Schiissler's so-called 
" tissue remedies." No other medicine was given. — Horn. World, July, 1887. 

COLIC. 

Magnesia phos. — Flatulent colic of children, with drawing 
up of legs. Colic forcing the patient to bend double ; eased by 
friction, warmth and belching of gas. Colic in umbilical 
region. Muscular contractions. Remittent colic, crampy 
pain. "Colic of newborn infants. I use it in almost every 
case with absolute, invariable, prompt and complete success; 
30th potency." (J. C. Morgan, M. D.) Colicky babies when 
they cry half the time ; no interference with nutrition. Gall- 
stone colic. 

Natrum phos. — Colic of children, with symptoms of acidity, 
such as green, sour- smelling stools, vomiting of curdled milk, 
etc. 

Ferrum phos. — Colic at menstrual periods, with heat, flush- 
ing of the face and quickened pulse. 

Natrum sulph. — Flatulent colic starting in right groin. 
Bilious colic, with bitter taste in the mouth and grayish or 
brownish-green coating at the root of the tongue. In lead 
colic this remedy should be given frequently in the ix or 2x 



COLIC. 157 

trituration. Pain in abdomen and small of back as if bruised. 
Much flatulence. Incarceration of flatus. Flatulent complaints 
after confinement, with constipation. 

Kali sulph. — Pains resembling colic. Abdomen feels cold 
to touch; sometimes caused by great heat, from excitement and 
sudden coldness; shortly after, gas escaping smells like sulphur; 
if Magnesia phos. fail. 

Kali phos. — Colic in hypogastrium, with ineffectual urging 
to stool ; better bending double. Abdomen distended with gas. 

Natrum mur. — "In cases of bilious colic presenting the 
belching of Carbo veg. and the pains of Diosc. and Coloc. I have 
found Natrum mur. to do excellent service." (C. E. Fisher.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Woman, set. 50, suffered for two years from gastralgia and enteralgia > 
attacks lasting several days; at each attack vomiting of a fluid as sour as 
vinegar. Two allopaths had treated her in vain, diagnosing the affection as 
cancer of the stomach and wandering kidney. My diagnosis was oversecre- 
tion of lactic acid. Natrum phos. Improvement set in in two days, and in 
a few weeks was entirely cured. (Schiissler.) 

Case of lady with bilious colic. Was sent for in the night, and for par- 
ticular reasons did not go. I, however, sent what I thought would relieve 
her. Early in the morning her husband was again at my office, saying she 
was no better, but suffering terribly. I gave him a different remedy, to be 
administered until I could get there. About half-past nine I arrived at the 
house, and found her still suffering excruciating pains. Ascertaining she 
had vomited bile, and had a very bitter taste in her mouth all the time, I 
administered a powder of Natrum sulph. in a little water. In about two 
minutes after taking it she said she was considerably relieved for the first 
time since eleven o'clock in the night. In about five minutes she had a free 
movement from the bowels, and she continued to improve, and was up and 
about the next morning. 

One of the hard-working clergy of the metropolis was for several years 
subject to very frequent and very severe attacks of colic, always running on 
to inflammatory character, violent vomiting, great tenderness of abdomen, 
restlessness, anxiety, misery. These attacks generally lasted from three 
days to one week. More than a year ago it was ascertained that the pain 
generally commenced in the right groin and thence spread over the whole 
abdomen. Natrum sulph. was given, the attack yielded immediately, and 
though he has had several threatenings, he has had no colic since. — Hering's 
Materia Medica.

Calcarea phos. — Cough with expectoration of albuminous 
matter, not watery. In cough of consumptives as an intercur- 
rent remedy. Suffocative cough in children, better lying 
down. 

Calcarea sulph. — Cough with sanious, watery sputa. 

Natrum mur. — Cough with excess of watery secretions. In 
consumption with watery sputa, tasting salty, winter cough. 
Stitches in liver with cough. Dry, short cough, day and night> 
from irritation in pit of stomach. 

Natrum sulph. — Cough with a sensation of all-goneness in 
the chest. Muco-pus, thick, ropy and yellowish-green expec- 
toration ; must press upon chest to relieve soreness and weakness. 



CROUP. 161 

Silicea. — Cough provoked toy cold drinks. Soreness and weak- 
ness of chest relieved by warm, moist air. Laryngeal, morning 
cough with tough expectoration. Dyspnoea on stooping or 
lying on back. Expectoration of profuse, yellowish-green pus 
of greasy taste and offensive odor. Suffocative night-cough. 
(Lilienthal.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. J. A. Biegler reports in the Trans. I. H. A. 1888, a case of subacute 
laryngitis cured by Kali phos. 30 . The prescription wss given "as a forlorn 
hope," because the case came late under treatment, with weakness, pale, 
bluish face, etc. Speech slow, becoming inarticulate, creeping paralysis, 
and because Grauvogl says: "We know that the oxidation processes, the 
changes of gases in the respiration, and other chemical transformations in 
the blood, are brought about by the presence of Kali phos. " 

Dr. F. W. Southworth reports two cases of spasmodic cough, promptly 
relieved by Magnes. phos. 4x and 6x respectively, the leading indications 
being its spasmodic character, worse on lying down and at night, and on 
breathing cold air; better 011 sitting up; tightness across the chest. The 
second case had spurting of urine when coughing. 

Dr. Fisher was consulted by a lady {enceinte) who was suffering from a 
cough which caused great inconvenience, as with every cough there was 
emission of urine. Ferrum phos. cured her very speedily. A short time 
ago the lady under similar circumstances was again troubled with a cough. 
Ferrum phos. this time also cured her as speedily. (From Schiissler.) 

CROUP. 

Kali mur. — Is the principal remedy for the membranous ex- 
udation, alternating with Ferrum phos. The chief remedy in 
false croup. 

Ferrum phos. — This remedy should be alternated with Kali 
mur.; breathing short, oppressed and hurried. 

Calcarea fluor. — If Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. do not suffice. 
The chief remedy in true croup. 

Calcarea phos. — Useful if the foregoing fail to act. " Suffo- 
cative attacks on lifting up the child from the cradle. After 
nursing, after crying, or being raised from the cradle, breathing 
ceases, the head turns backward, the face is blue, there is fight- 
ing with hands and feet; after the attack great laxation." 
(Bradford.) 

Kali phos. — If treatment is delayed till the last stage, syn- 
11

cope; for nervous prostration, pale, livid countenance; in alter- 
nation with Kali mitr. 

Magnesia phos. — Spasmodic closure of the windpipe. Sud- 
den shrill voice ; suffocative cough. 

Calcarea sulph. — Useful after the exudation stage when, after 
the hard membrane has been softened, there exists a tough 
mucus in the throat causing much discomfort. It will change 
the croupous to a catarrhal cough, and when given in season 
will sometimes prevent exudation. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

D. R., a boy, set. 7, who took spurious croup whenever there was a sharp, 
keen, uortheast wind, having had a few years before a very severe attack 
of true croup; this past autumn had again an attack, with fever, and a loud, 
barking cough. Aeon, and liver of sulphur, which have been recommended 
by so many authors against spurious croup, produced no change whatever, 
so that I prepared myself, in the case of this boy, for a continuance of the 
affection, as usual, for several days. The nights especially were very rest- 
less, with much coughing, rough and hard, so that his relatives were very 
anxious. There were dry heat and great oppresion present. I exchanged 
my Hepar sulph. for Kali mur., and gave every two hours a full dose. 
After a few doses the cough became loose, lost completely the barking 
sound, and the whole of the following night my little patient slept quietly, 
so that on the following morning he awoke, able to get up, quite lively and 
well. (Schussler.) 

In croup, do not be afraid of high potencies; they often do much better 
than the low. (E. H. H.) 



DELIRIUM. 

Ferrum phos. — When there is present high fever. 

Natrum mur. — Delirium occurring at any time, with start- 
ing of the body, wandering delirium with muttering, frothy 
tongue. Delirium tremens. Chief remedy ; if it does no good 
give Kali phos. - . 

Kali phos. — Delirium tremens; the horrors of drunkards, 
fear, sleeplessness, restlessness and suspiciousness, rambling 
talk, endeavors to grasp or avoid imaginary objects and images. 
Give alternately with Natrum mur., as this remedy restores 
the normal consistency of the brain substance which is dis- 
turbed in this disease. 



DENTITION. 163 

CLINICAL CASES. 
I was consulted by the relatives of a man suffering from delirium tremens. 
I ordered Natrum mur. A complete cure followed speedily. Natrum mur. 
is the principal remedy, as delirium tremens is caused by a disturbance of 
the balance of the molecules of the Natrum mur. and molecules of water 
in some portion of the brain. (Schiissler.j 

DENTITION. 

Ferrum phos. — Teething troubles with fevishness, flushed 
face, sparkling eyes, dilated pupils, and extreme restlessness 
and irritability. 

Magnesia phos. — Convulsions in teething without fever, in 
alternation with Ferrum phos. "In convulsive cases, where 
Bellad. seems indicated, but does no good, spasmodic colic, 
loose bowels, this is a magnificent remedy." (J. C. Morgan, 
M. D.) 

Calcarea phos. — The chief remedy in teething disorders. If 
they appear too late it should be given to hasten development. 
It is the remedy for troublesome ailments during dentition. 
Especially useful in flabby, emaciated children with open pos- 
terior fontanelles. Child does not learn to walk or forgets to 
walk and loses flesh. Has a sputtering, pulslike diarrhoea and 
vomiting. 

Natrum mur. — Where there is much dribbling or flow of 
saliva. 

Silicea. — Especially suitable for children with large heads, 
open sutures, much sweat about head, large abdomen, fine 
skin, oversensitiveness, imperfectly nourished, due to malassim- 
ilation. 

Calcarea fluor. — This remedy also greatly facilitates denti- 
tion. Vomiting during dentition. Malnutrition of the bones, 
especially the teeth. "Spasms, commencing by holding breath, 
incessant crying and momentary loss of consciousness." (Dr. 
J. W. Ward.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of vomiting of food and drink during dentition, undigested diarrhcea, 
curdled milk, with green specks in it, much offensive flatus. During sleep 
head wets pillow, head small. Calcarea phos} cured. (Raue, Record, 1873.) 

Dentition : Child 18 months old; hot skin, cheeks highly flushed, spark. 



164 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Hug eyes, pupils dilated, and extreme restlessness and irritability. Ferf. 
phos. 6x trit, in water every hour. The first dose had a decided quieting 
effect, the child going to sleep shortly after taking it and the cheeks becom- 
ing much less flushed. A few repetitions of the remedy entirely removed 
all the dental irritation. (Wilde.) 

I have had many cases of that troublesome affection with children that I 
have easily cured with Magnes. phos. and Calc. phos. For the benefit of 
young practitioners, I will add that I generally prevent the occurrence of 
that trouble by treating the mother in the following manner: As soon as I 
see one of my regular patients having reached the fifth or sixth month of 
pregnancy, every morning and evening I order the pregnant woman to take 
a dose of Calc. phos. 3X trit. The results that I have obtained are: first, to 
prevent the usual decay of the mother's teeth; and, second, to see her off- 
spring cutting teeth sooner and without any trouble. (E. A. de Cailhol, 
M. D.) 

DIABETES MELLITUS. 

Natrum mur. — Polyuria; unquenchable thirst; emaciation, 
loss of sleep and appetite ; great debility and despondency. 

Natrum sulph. — This is the chief remedy. Schiissler gives 
as a special reason for its use deficiency of the pancreatic secre- 
tion. 

Kali mur. — Excessive and sugary urine. Great weakness 
and somnolence. 

Kali phos. — The symptoms for which this remedy must be 
given intercurrently are nervous prostration, weakness, sleep- 
lessness and voracious hunger ; it establishes normal function of 
the medulla oblongata and pneumogastric nerve, which latter 
acts on the digestion or stomach and on the lungs. 

Ferrum phos. — Diabetes, when there is a quickened pulse 
or when there exists pain, heat or congestion in any part of 
the system, as an intercurrent remedy. 

Calcarea phos. — Polyuria, with weakness, much thirst, dry 
mouth and tongue ; flabby, sunken abdomen ; craves bacon and 
salt. Glycosuria when lungs are implicated. 

Calcarea sulph. — Schiissler says that this may possibly be a 
remedy useful for this disease ; also Kali sirtph. 

NOTE TO DIABETES. 
Geo. W. Carey, M. D., of Spokane, one of the professors in the Biochemi- 
cal College, explains the biochemic treatment of diabetes as follows: 



diabp;tes meixitus. 165 

Lactic acid is composed of Carbonic acid and water, and must be split up 
ou its way to the lungs. This is done by the catalytic action of Sodium 
phosphate in the blood. Any deficiency of Sodium phosphate will cause a 
disturbance in the water in the system by allowing an excess of Lactic acid 
to accumulate. Nature in her effort to eliminate the water produces the 
symptoms called diabetes. 

But while a lack of Sodium phosphate is the principal cause of diabetes, 
the chief remedy is Sodium sulphate ; because it regulates the supply of 
water in the blood. Sodium sulphate also gives off oxygen, so necessary 
for the process of the decomposition of sugar, and thereby prevents its 
reaching the kidneys as sugar, and also thins to its normal consistency bile 
that has become inspissated from alack of Sodium phosphate . 

If a case of diabetes has advanced to any considerable degree, the kid- 
neys will have become inflamed by the Lactic acid and sugar that passes 
through them. This injury to the tissue of the kidney calls upon the red 
corpuscles of the blood for Iron phosphate ; which will in most cases cause 
a deficiency in that inorganic salt. Nature, in her efforts to supply iron, 
will probably draw on the nerve fluid, Potassium phosphate will be too 
rapidly consumed, and the patient suffers from nervous prostration. 

The treatment, therefore, for diabetes mellitus is: the Phosphates of 
sodium, Iron, andlPotassium, and the Sulphate of sodium. For the great 
functional disturbance of nerve centers caused by the demand made on the 
blood for the Potassium phosphate, producing sleeplessness and voracious 
hunger, Potassium phosphate is the infallible remedy. It establishes nor- 
mal functional action of the medulla oblongata and pneumogastric nerve, 
which latter acts on stomach and lungs. For the great thirst, emaciation, 
and despondency, give Sodium chloride. It equally distributes the water 
in the system and quickly restores the normal condition. 

The phosphates may be combined where two or more are indicated, but 
the Sodium sulphite and Sodium chloride should be given in separate solu- 
tions. Where there is great emaciation or poor appetite Calcium phosphate 
should be given, a small dose after each meal. 

In my opinion, diet cuts but little figure in the treatment of diabetes, 
except as to the amount of food taken. The main object is to have the 
food digest. Diabetic patients should never overeat; better eat six times 
daily than overeat once. 

Of course diet of fat meats or greasy food cannot be beneficial, for the 
very important fact that it overworks the liver, causes a deficiency and 
consequent thickening of bile and mucus, and sometimes a crystallization 
of cholesterin in the gall duct, which give rise to symptoms called hepatic 
colic, jaundice, or bilious headache. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. E. B. Rankin reports a case of diabetes insipidus improving under 
Natrum phos. 6x, in thirst, appetite aud general strength, also in quantity 
of urine. However, no permanent result was obtained in this case. — South- 
ern Journal Homoeopathy, April, 1886. 

Schiissler notices two cures of this disease, communicated to him from 



1 66 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Scotland, and one in which an Italian doctor employed successfully Natrum 
sulph. in diabetes. The details are wanting. 

I have had occasion to treat many cases of that affection that I consider 
of a nervous origin. The treatment that has always succeeded with me has 
invariably been Natrum. sulph. and Magnesia phos. 6x tr.; the length of 
treatment has been from forty- eight hours to a week; one dose of each of 
these salts iu alternation every hour. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.) 

Mrs. M., aged 42, consulting me, declared that she passed nearly four 
gallons of urine in twenty-four hours; *iis specific gravity was 1040. I 
learned from her that the disease originated from a nervous shock (conjugal 
onanismus). I cured that case in three months with Natr. sulph., Natr- 
phos., Kali phos. and Magnes. phos., given according to the symptoms that 
I had to fight against. Having seen her three years after, the cure was per. 
feet and no sign of relapse. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.) 

DIARRHCEA. 

Ferrum phos. — Diarrhoea from a relaxed state of the villi, 
or absorbents of the intestines not taking up the usual amount 
of moisture. Stools of undigested food, brought on by a chill 
beginning with fever. Prolapsus recti. "Pain non-intermit- 
tent. Diarrhoea copious, watery, sudden, painful, often accom- 
panied by vomiting." (Guilbert.) Diarrhoea in children, stools 
watery, mucous, green and frequent; child rolls its head and 
groans ; face pinched, eyes half opened ; urine scanty, pulse and 
respiration quickened, starting in sleep. Stools undigested; 
the skin is hot and dry, and there is thirst. Dentition. 

Kali mur. — Diarrhoea after fatty food, pastry, etc. Evacua- 
tions light colored, pale yellow, ochre or clay-colored stools. 
Diarrhoea in typhoid fever; stools like pale yellow ochre. 
White or slimy stools, with the characteristic white coating of 
the tongue. Stools bloody or slimy. 

Kali phos. — Foul diarrhoea, often accompaned by other dis- 
eases, to heal the conditions causing putrid evacuations. Diar- 
rhoea of strong odor, occasioned by fright and other similar 
causes. Diarrhoea with depression and exhaustion of the nerves, 
with or without pain. Evacuations like rice water. Prolapsus 
recti. Tympanites. Stools putrid, like rice water, bloody, 
carrion-like odor. Noisy, offensive flatus. Profuse, painless and 
imperative stool while eating, followed by unsatisfied urging. 
Rectum burns and feels sore; prolapsed. 



DIARRHCEA. 167 

Natrum mur. — Diarrhoea with watery, slimy, frothy stools. 
Transparent, glairy slime, excessive use of salt. "Natrum mur. 
is chiefly used for chronic diarrhoea of children. The emacia- 
tion of the neck, the greasy appearance of the face, and the 
peculiar desires and aversions furnish the leading indications." 
(Bell & Laird.) Slimy coating of tongue with minute bubbles 
of saliva on tip. 

Natrum phos. — Itching, sore and raw anus. Stools white 
or green from deficient bile. Diarrhoea caused by excess of 
acidity; stools sour smelling, green, with yellow, creamy coat- 
ing of tongue. Vomiting of sour fluid, curdy masses. Sum- 
mer diarrhoeas connected with a lack of digestive power, in 
which the stools are either clay-colored or habitually greenish. 
Also, where there is habitual constipation with occasional at- 
tacks of diarrhoea, in young children. "Jellylike masses of 
mucus, painful straining, coagulated casein, scanty and fre- 
quent." (Guilbert.) Diarrhoea from bad methods in feeding. 

Natrum sulph. — Diarrhoea; stools watery, dark, bilious, or 
of green bile.' "This is one of the most frequently indicated 
remedies in cases of chronic diarrhoea, where the loose morn- 
ing stool is the leading symptom. The flatulent symptoms are 
very characteristic, but not necessarily present. Aggravation 
in damp weather. Green diarrhoea in scarlatina. Wartlike 
eruptions on arms and between thighs. Chronic hereditary 
looseness of bowels in old women." (Bell & Laird. ) Chronic 
diarrhoea coming on sometimes after rising: and moving; about. 

Kali sulph. — Diarrhoea yellow, slimy or watery, mattery 
stools. Yellow coating of tongue, especially at root. Symp- 
toms of cholera, cramps, etc. Black, thin, offensive stools. 

Calcarea sulph. — Diarrhoea purulent, mixed with blood, 
with clay -colored tongue. In typhus; from maple sugar and 
change of weather. 

Calcarea phos. — Diarrhoea in teething children, as an inter- 
current or alternate remedy. Intercurrently in consumption of 
the bowels. One of our most valuable remedies for the diar- 
rhoea of scrofulous and rachitic children. Green, slimy, undi- 
gested diarrhoea. Stool is hot, watery, profuse, offensive, noisy 
and sputtering. 



1 68 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Magnesia phos. — Stools watery, expelled with force, with 
griping pains in the bowels, flatulent colic relieved by drawing 
up the limbs, or hot applications. Vomiting and cramp in 
calves of legs. Pain at intervals. 

Silicea. — Infantile diarrhoea, cadaverous-smelling, after vac- 
cination, with much sour perspiration on head, and hard, hot, 
distended abdomen. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Chronic diarrhoea in old maid, aet. 75, of years' standing, cured by Ferrum 
phos. (W. P. W.) 

Morning diarrhoea on rising; sudden urging, gushing, accompanied with 
flatulence. The stool splatters all over the vessel. Natrum sulph. cm. 
cured. (C Lippe.) 

An old man was attacked by a severe vomiting and diarrhoea, accom- 
panied by exceedingly painful cramp in the calves. Evacuations had the 
appearance of rice-water. I undertook the treatment about six hours after 
the beginning of the attack, and one dose of Kali phos. effected a cure. The 
speedy cure of this case of choleraic diarrhoea would justify the belief that 
Kali phos. is a specific against cholera. (Schussler.) 

Dr. Goullon relates a case of chronic diarrhoea of two years' standing. 
Stools of mushy consistence, coated tongue, cured with Calcarea sulph. — 
Allg. Horn. Zeit. 

Among the first cases in which I tried these remedies was a negro child, 
about two mouths old. The following are about the symptoms presented: 
Painful diarrhoea, constant rolling of the head, eyes turned up, tongue 
brownish-yellow, no desire to nurse for some time. The mother said it had 
been sick for a week, and she had been giving it different things; but as it 
got worse, she called me. I told her I was afraid there was little chance 
for its recovery, but I would do what I could for it. Prescribed Magnesia 
i>hos. and Calcarea phos, in alternation, every fiteeu minutes. This was 
about nine or ten o'clock, a. m. I returned about three o'clock p. m., to 
see if it were still alive, and to my astonisment found it better. It had 
ceased rolling its head, eyes were natural, had nursed once or twice, and 
was sleeping. Ordered the medicine to be continued at longer intervals. 
The next morning it was considerably better. At this visit I found the 
tongue covered with a thick white coating, and the mouth sore. I now 
prescribed Kali mur., the remedy for this condition, in place of the Calcarea 
phos., to be alternated with the Magnesia phos. every hour. The next day 
the tongue was clear, and after leaving a few more powders, to be continued 
for a day or two longer, the case was dismissed. (E. H. H. ) 

Dr. T. F. Allen cured a case of chronic diarrhoea in an old lady, with 
morning aggravation on beginning to move, with Natrum sulph. jx. (N. 
A.J. H.) ^ 



DIPHTHERIA. 1 69 

DIPHTHERIA. 

Ferrum phos. — At the commencement and for the fever. 

Kali mur. — This is the sole remedy in most cases, in alter- 
nation with Ferritin phos., which latter will lessen the fever, 
and is always indicated at the commencement. Kali mur. 
stands in the same biological relation to the albuminoid sub- 
substances (i. e., the fibrin) as does the phosphate of lime to the 
albumen. When an intense irritation has attacked those cells 
which form the seat of the disease in diphtheria, or relatively 
the Kali mur. molecules which are contained in them, there 
arise a disturbance of the proper balance of the molecules of 
this salt and a consequent loss of some molecules, perhaps only 
a small number. At the same time a portion of the albuminoid 
substances (the organic basis of the cells) is set free and appears 
on the surface of the mucous membrane, where it is recognized 
as the diphtheritic exudation. So long as the disturbance of 
the proper balance in the motion of Kali mur. molecules lasts, 
the exudation will derive supplies and continue to go on. For 
the purpose of curing diphtheria by means of the biochemic 
method, new molecules of this salt must be applied to the re- 
spective tissues of which Kali mur. molecules have become in- 
harmonious in their function, and for this reason the remedy 
must be given in molecular form. Dose, 10 to 15 grains of 
3d or 6th trituration in a tumbler of water, a dose every two 
hours, or a powder the size of a pea, dry on the tongue. 

Calcarea fluor. — When the affection has gone to the wind- 
pipe through mismanagment, give this remedy and Calcarea 
phos. alternately. 

Calcarea phos. — Diphtheritic exudation spreading to the 
trachea. Such a complication is very rare when the Tissue 
Remedies are used exclusively. A white speck or patch re- 
mains after the main exudation has come off. 

Kali phos. — In the well-marked, malignant, gangrenous 
condition, patient exhausted, prostrate. Also for the after- 
effects of diphtheria, such as weakness of sight, nasally speech 
or paralysis in any part of the body, squinting, etc. The putrid 



170 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Character is well marked, as seen by the bone and putrid- 
smelling odor from mouth. 

Katrum mur. — Diphtheria, if the face be puffy and pale with 
heavy drowsiness; watery stools, flow of saliva or vomiting of 
watery fluid. Dryness of the tongue, stertorous breathing, etc. 
The use of Nut-rum mur. must be discontinued with the disap- 
pearance of these symptoms. 

Natrum phos. — Diphtheritic throat, falsely so called (not 
true), when the tonsils are covered with a yellow, creamy coat- 
ing, and the back part of the roof of the mouth looks creamy- 
yellow; the coating of the tongue is moist, creamy or gold 
colored. 

Natrum sulph. — In diphtheria as an intercurrent remedy 
where there is vomiting of green matter or water, and the 
peculiar welling-up of mucus from the stomach. 

Note. — Under no circumstances should other remedies, such 
as lime water, carbolic acid, iced water, etc., be used along with 
these remedies, because they may interfere with the proper- 
action of these salts. (Scfmssler.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Fully developed case of diphtheria with the characteristic glandular en- 
largement, tonsils, uvula and entire soft palate were covered with a thick,, 
diphtheritic exudation. Deglutition was attended .with great pain and ac- 
companied with the utmost effort, and there was exceeding prostration. 
Kali mur. 6 every two hours. The following day there was a marked im- 
provement, and in four days every vestige of the throat trouble had disap- 
peared, and the child recovered rapidly under Calcarea phos. (W. M. Pratt, 
M. D., North American Journal of Homoeopathy \ May, 1883.) 

Last summer I had a case of diphtheria that was a little out of the usual 
order. I saw the case on Saturday, July 21. It looked like a simple ulcer- 
ated sore throat, and I prescribed Calc. sulph. and told the mother that if 
she was not better in the afternoon to let me know. When I got home, 
about four o'clock, she and her father were at my office. I found her quite 
feverish and her speech considerably muffled. I examined her throat care- 
fully and found a distinct grayish patch on each tonsil. I now prescribed 
Fer rum phos. and Kali mur. in alternation. About nine o'clock I called 
and found that she was evidently not relieved in any way whatever. She 
now complained of something continually coming into her throat. I thought 
perhaps it was waterbrash and gave a few doses of Natrum phos., but to no 
effect. Continued the first remedies through the night. The next morning 
much worse. The membrane had spread considerably and the tonsils were 



DIPHTHERIA. 171 

much enlarged. The rising of mucus in the throat continued. Saw her 
three times on Sunday. Gave her lower potencies. Left her at night on 3X. 
Monday morning the mother met me with tears in her eyes and wanted to 
know if I had not better call another physician. Found her very ill indeed. 
It flashed upon me that the constant welling-up of mucus in the throat is a 
symptom of Natrum sulph. I consequently gave it alone in the 200 (B. & T.) 
potency, and in a few hours there was a decided change for the better. In 
a few days she was well. (E. H. H.) 

In fourteen cases of diphtheria the biochemic measures left nothing bet- 
ter to be desired, Kali mur. rapidly making a change, the whitish-gray ex- 
udation being diminished, shrivelling and coming away with the gargle and 
mouth-wash made with Kali mur., also occasional doses of Ferrum phos. 
The treatment worked splendidly. In three cases the patients labored under 
prostration from the first, and Kali phos. had to be given intercurreutly; in 
two cases Natrum mtir. alternately with Kali mur., the chief remedy. In 
the latter cases there existed considerable running of saliva, heavy drowsi- 
ness and water}' stools. No secondary affections resulted, such as frequently 
arise under ordinary treatment, as paralysis, defective vision, or neuralgia. 
(M. D. W.) 

Case from the practice of Schiissler: In a village a few miles from the 
town of Oldenberg, a child was taken ill with diphtheria, which at an early 
stage was complicated by an affection of the larynx. The child was treated 
by the ordinary method and died. Almost at the same time a child of an- 
other family in the village was attacked by diphtheria with the same com- 
plication. The father of the latter child came to me. I prescribed Kali 
■mur. for the disease in the first instance, and Calcarea phos. for the affec- 
tion of the larynx, to be taken alternately. I requested the father to inform 
me without fail of the result, which he promised to do. Two days after I 
received a letter from him, in which he informed me that the child had 
completely recovered. , 

In diphtheria (maligna), where every known remedy failed, Kali phos. 
and Kali mur. with, and sometimes without, Natrum mur. effected subsi- 
dence of malignity, and hastened the cure. 

In paralysis after diphtheria, I know of no better remedy than Kali phos. 
(Dr. F. From Schiissler. ) 

The following cases are of interest, as showing the action of Ferrum 
phos. in diphtheria: 

1. Young lady with sore throat, tonsils swollen moderately and quite 
red, a little feverish. Ferruni phos. 30 every three hours for a day and a 
half, then paused, being better. Became worse and sent for me. Diph- 
theritic membrane covered the right tonsil. Ferrum phos. 30 , as before. 
The next day the membrane was nearly all gone, swelling and redness were 
better. Continued prescription every four hours. The following day only 
a slight vestige of the membrane remained. Medicine given less often, 
and the next day was perfectly well. 

2. Boy, set 5, febrile state, glistening, flushed eyes, red cheeks, tonsils 
red and swollen, especially the right, on which was a tuftlike exudation 
about its centre and about one-quarter inch in diameter, hanging down, the 



172 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

upper attachment looking blackish next to the tonsils; fetid breath. Fer- 
ritin phos. 30 The next day the tonsil was clear, but a similar exudation ap- 
peared on the posterior wall of the pharynx; continued the same remedy 
every four hours; the following day he was well. (J. C. Morgan, M. D., 

Hahnemannian Monthly, vol. vii.) 

DIZZINESS. 

When it occurs in nervous subjects who, without having 
any active symptoms of dyspepsia, do not well assimilate the 
nutritive portion of the food. Calcarea phos. ix, given after 
meals, will be found useful. (C. R. Fleury.) 

DROPSICAL AFFECTIONS. 

Kali mur. — Dropsy arising from heart, liver or kidney affec- 
tions, when the prominent characteristic symptoms of this 
remedy are present. Dropsy from obstruction of bile ducts 
and enlargement of the liver. There is generally a white-coated 
tongue. Dropsy from weakness of the heart (in alternation 
with Kali phos.). Dropsy, with palpitation. Dropsy in which 
the liquid drawn off is whitish, or white mucus is deposited in 
the urine. Persistent white coating on the tongue. Hydrocele. 

Natrum sulph. — Simple dropsy invading the areolar tissues 
of the body. Preputial oedema or scrotal oedema. CEdema of 
internal as well as external parts. 

Natrum mur. — Dropsy and dropsical swellings of any of the 
subcutaneous areolar tissues of the body. Anasarca. Preputial 
or scrotal oedema. 

Ferrum phos. — Dropsy from loss of blood or draining of the 
system, alternately with Calcarea pi ws. 

Calcarea phos. — Dropsy from non-assimilation. Anaemia or 
loss of blood or vital fluids. Hydrops genu. 

Calcarea fluor. — Dropsy caused by heart disease, dilatation 
of any of the cavities. Hydrocele of long standing. 

Kali sulph. — Post-scarlatinal dropsy. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
Scarlatinal dropsy in a child, aet. 4; Digital., Apis, Arsen. and Apoc. 
failed Quantity of urine voided in twenty-four hours was very scanty, and 
during the past forty-eight hours had ceased entirely. The patient was fear-

fulh' anasarcous. Reclining position was impossible. Natrum mur.* every 
two hours. In twentv-four hours the child voided two quarts of urine and 
a speedy recovery followed. (W. M. Pratt, M. D.) 

Dr. Goullon, Jr., who used Kali mur. with much success in a swelling of 
the feet and lower extremities, adds the following particular indications for 
its use: The remedy in question appears indicated in chronic persistent 
swelling of the feet and lower limbs, when the swelling is soft at first, after- 
wards becoming hard to the touch, without pain or redness. It is, how- 
ever, itchy; and at one stage may be termed snowy- white and shining. 
Lastly, the swelling becomes less perceptible in the morning than in the 
evening, but may acquire such dimensions as to cause great tension, with a 
feeling as if it would burst. 

A little girl, eet. 9, had recovered from diphtheria and scarlatina rather 
easily, and was allowed to be in the convalescent room. Suddesnljr she began 
to swell without any apparent cause. Her face became puffy; the feet also 
oedematous to above the ankle. Urine scarcely decreased, containing no 
albumen. No pain over the kidneys on pressure. Pulse somewhat feverish, 
but appetite, sleep and stools still natural. I gave three different medi- 
cines—amongst these, Aconite — without success. Dropsy (anasarca et 
ascites) was increasing rapidly; urine scanty; only very small quantities 
occasionally, being slightly turbid and containing much albumen. Whether 
any epithelial sheathiugs were present was not ascertained. Kidneys were 
now more sensitive to pressure. Occasionally delirious. Natrum mur. 
alone cured this case in about a fortnight. (Dr. Cohn. From Schiissler.) 

DYSENTERY. 

Kali mur. — Intense pain in the abdomen, cutting as from 
knives, calls to stool every few minutes, with, tenesmus, extort- 
ing cries, purging with slimy, sanious stools. In most cases 
this remedy with Ferrum phos. cures. 

Ferrum phos. — If affection begins with violent fever, this, 
with the foregoing remedy, usually suffices for a cure. If pain 
is dependent on inflammation making no intervals and in- 
creased by pressure. Never useful if tenesmus is present. (F.) 

Kali phos. — When the stool consists of blood only, and the 
patient becomes delirious, abdomen swollen, or when stools 
have a putrid odor. Putrid, very offensive stools, and great 
dryness of the tongue. Prolapsus recti. Tenesmus after stools. 

Magnesia phos. — Crampy pains eased by bending double, 
by warmth, friction or pressure. Tenesmus and tormina, with 
constant desire to pass water and go to stool. Pains in rectum 
with every stool as from a prolonged spasm of muscles. 



174 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea sulph. — Stools purulent, sanious (mixed with 
blood), especially in cases that persist after Kali mur. 
Natrum sulph. — If bilious symptoms are present. 

CLINICAL CASE?. 

Dr. E. H. Holbrook reports a case of dysentery which was greatly re- 
lieved by Calcarea sulph. cm. Turning into a bilious diarrhoea, Natrum 
sulph. cm. cured. 

Lady complaining of extreme tenesmus and tormina, and constant desire 
to pass water and go to stool. Every time this pain came on, must rise and 
bend forward, and the only relief obtained was from hot water. Magnes. 
phos. 2c. every 15 minutes cured third dose. (Dr. Reed.) 

In treating a case of dysentery lately I was at my wits' end to coutrol the 
terrible pain in defecation. Merc, cor . suited the case well, and the stools 
were growing less frequent, but the pain was increasing, being so severe as 
to cause fainting. Something had to be done if I held my case. The pain 
in rectum and abdomen was very severe, more in rectum than abdomen. 
The tenesmus was like a prolonged spasm of the muscles employed in defe- 
cation. I exhibited " Schussler's " Magnes. phos. in hot water. A hypo- 
dermic of morphia could hardly have acted quicker. The pain was almost 
entirely relieved by the first dose. The whole condition changed for the 
better, and I discharged my case the next day. In all my experience I 
never had a more prompt or pleasing result. Magnes. phos. is a grand 
antispasmodic, and fully as reliable as our more frequently used remedies. 
I was led to think of it for my case of dysentery by a statement made to me 
by Dr. E. E- Snyder, of Biughampton, N. Y. He gave it with equally as 
prompt results in spasmodic tenesmus vesicae occurring in a case of cystitis 
resulting from gonorrhoea. It certainly did me great service. (H. K. Leon- 
ard, M. D.) 

DYSMENORRHEA.

-Calcarea phos. in two months. — Homoeopathic Physician, 1884. 

Dr. R. D. Belding (N. Y. St. Trans.) reports a case of dysmenorrhoea, of 
years' standing, characterized by pain and soreness in left hypochondrium 
going through to right scapula, worse lying on left side, with headache and 
diarrhoea. Patient feels best in cool, dry weather, every summer has urti- 
<carious eruptions. Dreams of robbers, has frequent cold sores on upper lip. 
Natrum mur. 200 cured 

Dr. D. B. Whittier (in Hahnemannian Monthly, July, 1887) reports sev-. 
eral cases of dysmenorrhoea cured with Kali phos. and Mag?iesia phos. 

Dr. A. P. Davis relates a case of d^^smenorrhoea with severe pains in 
uterus, back and lower limbs; heat applied to abdomen did not relieve; a 
large dose of Magnes. phos. 6x lessened the pain in one-half hour; another 
dose brought on a free flow. The pain usually lasted several hours previous 
to flowing. The remedy was given as a preventive during several subse- 
quent months with good effect, and the patient finally cured. Dr. Davis 
regards Magnes. phos. superior to Cimicifuga in neuralgia of the uterus and 
in the relief of menstrual pains, and as very useful in uterine engorgement, 
and gives a case cf meuorrhagia cured with the 6x. 

Kali phos. in Dysmenorrhcea. — Dr. D. B. Whittier reports the cure of 
a dysmenorrhcea of fifteen years' standing (in a highly neurotic and hysteri- 
cal woman) by a course of Kali phos. continuing over six months, after allo- 
pathic medicines, and apparently indicated Homoeopathic medicines, had 
iailed. Some of the symptoms were: the mammae were so painful that the

touch of her clothing was unbearable. The menstrual pains were cramp- 
like, with severe bearing down in the hypogastrium, and most severe after 
the flow commenced. When the suffering was most intense a sharp, shoot- 
ing pain would extend from the hypogastrium to the epigastrium, followed 
by a sensation as if something were flowing up to the stomach, and immedi- 
ately succeeded by a vomiting of bile or frothy, acid substances, sometimes 
streaked with blood. The vomiting would relieve the painful distress of the 
stomach, when the uterine pains would be increased and sometimes con- 
tinue for twenty-four hours. A headache, at first general, soon settled over 
the left eye. When the headache was severe the pains elsewhere were less- 
ened, and vice versa. The first menstrual period following the administra- 
tion of 'One Kali phos. was comparatively comfortable. — Horn. Journal of 
Obstetrics, November. 

Dysmenorrhcea that had lasted for some time in which at each menstrual 
period a membrane was discharged, varying in size from one to two inches 
long. The pains came on after the flow began, in the abdomen low down, 
and were relieved by lying curled up in bed with a hot water bag on the ab- 
domen. The pains would last for a day — dull, aching — and next day, or day 
after, a membrane would be passed. I gave her after one of her menstrual 
periods Magnes. phos. cm., one dose dry. The next menstruation was easier 
somewhat, but not much. Magnes. phos. in water for two days, night and 
morning, and the next menstrual period was painless, though she passed 
the membrane as before. After that the menses were perfectly painless. 
(Dr. Campbell, in Proceedings of Halmemannian Association, 1889.) 

I had a patient with very severe shooting neuralgic pains during the 
menstrual period. The pains were in the stomach and lasted the first day 
or two. Commenced in the back and came directly around and centred in 
the pit of the stomach. They were relieved by heat and pressure. Magnes. 
phos. 10m., one dose, and she had no more pain. (T. J. Kent, M. D.) 

EAR, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammatory earache from cold, with burn- 
ing, throbbing pain. Sensitive to noise. Congestive stage of 
otitis. Earache, with sharp, stitching pain. Noises in the 
ears, arising through blood-pressure from relaxed conditions of 
the vessels not returning the blood properly. Inflammatory 
conditions, radiating pains, sensitiveness, especially in affections 
of the ear in anaemic subjects. A clinical symptom is: 
"Noticeable pulsation in the ear; every impulse of the heart 
is felt here, beating in the ear and head ; the pulse can be 
counted." (Houghton.) Chronic, non-suppurative catarrh of 
the middle ear, where the membrana tympani is thickened, 
and there is probably anchylosis of the small bones. 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 1 77 

The following are also indications for its use: "i. A marked 
tendency for the inflammatory process to be diffused instead of 
circumscribed. 2. Dark, beefy redness of the parts. 3. A 
mueo-purulent discharge and a tendency to hemorrhage. 4. 
The complete establishment of the discharge is not followed 
by the relief of the pain. 5. The paroxysmal character of the 
pain." (Wanstall, American Institute Transactions, 1886, p. 
389.) Also, the absence of exudation, the radiating pains and 
sensitiveness, and the general anaemic and debilitated condition 
of the patient. Deafness from inflammatory action, or suppur- 
ation, when there are cutting pains, tension, throbbing or heat, 
Tinnitus aurium from excessive flow of blood to the part. In- 
flammation of the drum, especially when the membrane is dry> 
and its vessels engorged. Diffuse inflammation of the external 
auditory canal and acute affections of middle ear. (H. C. F.) 
Catarrhal affections of Eustachian tubes. 

Kali mur. — Earache, with white or gray-furred tongue and 
swelling of the glands, swelling of the throat. Eustachian 
tubes swell, cracking noise in the ear when swallowing. Deaf- 
ness from swelling of the Eustachian tubes. It is also the 
principal remedy for deafness from swelling of the external ear. 
Deafness with swelling of the glands or cracking noises on 
blowing the nose, tongue white. Chronic dermatitis. Moist 
exfoliation of the epithelial layer of the tympanum. In ulcer- 
ations, where pus is whitish ; granular conditions of inner mea- 
tus and on membrana tympani; excessive granulations. "One 
of the most effective remedies we have ever used for chronic 
catarrhal inflammation of the middle ear, especially the form 
designated 'proliferous.' Stuffy sensation, subjective sounds, 
deafness, naso-pharyngeal obstruction, granular pharyngitis, 
closed Eustachian tubes, retracted membrana tympani, etc., 
walls of external meatus atrophied. Seems to affect more de- 
cidedly the right Eustachian tube. In chronic suppuration it 
reduces proliferation, checks granulation and hastens repair. " 
(H. C. Houghton.) 

"Kali mur. is chiefly suited to the second or later stages of 
catarrhal states of the nasopharynx and Eustachian tube which, 
12 



178 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

by continuity of the mucous membrane, extend to the cavity 
of the middle ear itself. The condition of the pharynx, as seen 
by simple inspection, is that of a thickened mucous memfirane, 
with inflammation present in subacute or chronic form and 
usually centering around the follicles, giving a coarsely granu- 
lar appearance to the surface. It is not so much an intensely 
red membrane as one paler in appearance which indicates its 
use, as if the more active hypertrophic condition were passing 
over into a less active or passive atrophic state. The presence 
of small spots of whitish exudation would be a further indica- 
tion for its selection, and also the condition of the tongue if 
coated white or gray. The accompanying nasal condition is 
characterized by swelling of the lining membrane, obstruction, 
and thick, yellow discharge, or later on by thick, whitish mu- 
cus. Its use is said to lessen susceptibility to these catarrhal 
states. 

"This same condition extending up into the Eustachian tube 
gives rise to such thickening of the lining membrane that the 
tube, for a time, is partially and sometimes wholly occluded. 
The aural symptoms resulting from this condition of the tube 
are well understood, consisting of deafness of varying degree, 
subjective noises in corresponding degree, and those sometimes 
startling and disagreeable snappings in the ear which arise from 
the sudden partial opening of the tube during deglutition, 
whereby the air is allowed to rush forcibly through the tube 
into the tympanic cavity, relieving thus the partial vacuum 
which always ensues "when the tympanum becomes a closed 
cavity, and rarification of the contained air takes place. Of 
course, if specular examination be made at such times, more 
or less retraction of the tympanic membrane will be visible. In 
this condition of the tube the remedy applies less to those states 
which are recent and acute than to their later effects, or to the 
less active forms of inflammation from the outset, and its action 
is said to be greater upon the Eustachian tube of the right side 
than upon that of the left. 

"In the tympanic cavity itself the process of slow prolifera- 
tion, with interstitial thickening and consequent slowly pro- 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 1 79 

gressing- deafness, with or without subjective noises, and without 
pain, seems to constitute the indication for this remedy. It is 
also especially useful at the termination of more active and 
painful attacks, to clear up the remains of inflammation and 
prevent, as far as possible, its evil effect in inducing thickenings 
in the tympanic mucous membrane and permanent changes in 
the delicate structures contained within the tympanic cavity. 
In suppurative disease of the ear this remedy is less frequently 
required than for the catarrhal process, but in cases where granu- 
lation is excessive it is sometimes employed to check the ex- 
uberance of their growth and favor resolution, while its useful- 
ness at the termination of suppurative attacks in the middle ear 
has been found very great in modifying those tendencies to 
adhesions which constitute one of their chief dangers. 

"Finally, in the external ear the use of this remedy has been 
hitherto comparatively infrequent, its indications being chiefly 
a dry and scaly proliferation of the epidermis of the external 
meatus, with tendency to atrophy of the walls. A swollen con- 
dition of the glands about the ear, the angle of the jaw, and 
the neck would further indicate its selection. 

" My own experience with Kali mur. has been largely con- 
fined to chronic catarrhal conditions of the middle ear, and after 
keeping a careful record of its action in nearly two hundred of 
these cases, in private practice, I am convinced that it is one of 
the most useful agents we possess in their treatment. It will 
even aid us efficiently in holding in check many of those invet- 
erate cases of years' standing which go persistently from bad to 
worse upon the slightest provocation, and w T hich no man living 
can hope to cure. Its most satisfactory results are obtained in 
those cases which may have been gradually progressing for 
months, or even for two or three years, but which have not yet 
given rise to those permanent tissue changes which are sure to 
follow in the later course of the disease." (Prof. H. P. Bellows,

meatus and thin, flaky discharge from ear.

CLINICAL CASES. 

Boy, with history of catarrhal disease of the ear of seven years' standing, 
suffers at times pain, and has often tinnitus ; at present suffering with a 
subacute attack of catarrhal inflammation of middle ear with slight pain. 
Ferrum phos. relieved this ; the next time he was seen there still remained 
closure of the Eustachian tube ; the mucous membrane of the pharynx was 
pale. Kali mur. entirely removed this, and normal hearing returned. 

A boy, set. 15, had an ear trouble of twelve 3'ears' standing, and suffered 
from suppuration of the middle ear, resulting from scarlet fever. At pre- 
sent both ears are inflamed; no paiu, but has subjective noises, hearing 
greatly diminished, pus fills the meatus, Eustachian tube is dilatable, right 
membrana tympani is granular and left perforated, pharynx thick. Cal- 
carea sulph. commenced at once and continued to improve ; the granular 
appearance of the right membrana tympani disappeared, and the improve- 
ment was phenomenal. 

Chronic suppurative inflammation of the middle ear from scarlet fever, 
both ears suppurating, both canals filled with pus of a dark color and fetid 
in character. Kali phos. entirely cured. (Houghton, Clinical Otology.) 

Prof. Houghton, in his excellent treatise on Clinical Otology, presents 
many remarkable cases illustrative of the action of these remedies. The 
above cases were selected as those in which no other remedies or means 
were employed. Numerous cases of the beneficial action of Ferrum phos., 
Kali mur. and Calcarea sulph. in aural practice can be found in this work. 



1 82 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Acute inflammation of the middle ear commenced by a full feeling in the 
ear and dull hearing. Pain occurred on performing Valsalva's procedure. 
This condition, which grew rapidly worse, continued for forty-eight hours, 
when the physician was called and found the following conditions : The 
pain was paroxysmal, there was a sensation of a plug in the ear, membrana 
tympani injected and bulged, but no evidence of exudation in the tympanic 
cavity. Posterior wall of meatus auditorius bright red in color, ear very 
sensitive to manipulation. Ferrum phos. 6x, every hour. Improvement 
was immediate. Remedy discontinued in forty-eight hours, 

Mrs. , set. 45, February 16th, 1887. About three years ago began to 

be troubled with pain and noises in the left ear, aggravated greatly at the 
time of the menses, the pain severe and neuralgic in character, extending 
over the left side of the head. The noises seem to get their character from 
some pronounced sound which is heard, and this persists sometimes for 
hours. For the last six months there has been no further pain on left side, 
but deafness is constant. The right side is now beginning to become deaf, 
but with no pain and no noises. This has been going on upon the right 
side for several months. General health excellent, with the exception of 
redness, fulness and desire to rub and pull the skin about the neck, for a 
few days after the menses, with marked swelling of the glands of the neck 
at the same time. This has been noticed only during the time that the 
ears have been troublesome. The fork is heard best on the left side by 
bone conduction, and best on the right side by air conduction. Meatus 
tympani dry and depressed. Eustachian tube on the left almost occluded, 
on the right more free. Frequent burning of the auricle on the left side. 
Kali mur. 6x cured. (H. P. Bellows, M. D., in N. E. Med. Gaz., Novem- 
ber, 1S89. ) 

A weak, cachectic woman suffered for three or four days from earache 
and pain in the right side of the head. The ear has been discharging for 
three days, but no mitigation of the pain, which is very severe and radi- 
ating from the ear, membrana tympani beefy red, swollen and perforated, 
discharge profuse and muco-purulent,. meatus red, swollen and inflamed. 
Ferrum phos. 2x, in water, every hour. In three days was better in every 
way, discharge and pain less. A week later all inflammatory symptoms 
had disappeared, 

Dr. Waustall reports three ocher cases cured hy the use of Ferrum phos. , 
from the 2x to the I2x trituration, with results the most gratifying, con- 
trolling the high fever, delirium and pain accompanying the acute middle 
ear inflammation. — Transactions American Fislitute of Homoeopathy, 18S6, 

P- 389- 

Case of a young girl, light complexion, scrofulous, with brown, offensive 
secretions from the right ear. Polypoid growth or excrescence closes the 
meatus near the opening.. For eight weeks she had been entirely deaf in 
this ear, the deafness having gradually increased for four months. Kali 
sulph. 12 given. In two weeks the offeusiveness had entirely disappeared. 
On examination find polypus shrivelled to a small, hard, black mass. The 
hearing has entirely returned, with a slight, whizzing noise. Every third 
day two doses were taken. This case was entirely cured. (W. P. Vvessel- 
hceft, M. D. From Hg.) 



EAR, DISEASES OF. 1 83 

Otitis EXTERNA. — Dr. Stanley Wilde reports a case of otitis externa 
with subsequent otorrhcea and deafness, the latter resisting several rem- 
edies as Merc, sol, Hydrastis and Sulphur. The case presented a thickening 
and narrowing of the meatus, with a thin flaky discharge therefrom, watch 
hearing 4 in. Kali mur. 3X stopped the discharge, and the hearing became 
normal. Dr. Wilde has used this remedy with good effect in Eustachian 
deafness in children from chronic enlargement of the tonsils. — Horn. 
Review. 

Dr. Goullon reports a case of an old gentleman who suffered greatly with 
a buzzing in ears, which was made much worse in the noisy street. The 
patient had repeated attacks of inflammatory rheumatism, and the tinnitus 
w r as probably of rheumatic origin. Mentall}^ much depressed. Difficult 
hearing. After a few days' use of Kali phos. 6 all symptoms, including the 
mental condition and difficult hearing, permanently disappeared. — Pop. 
Horn. Zeitung. 

A gentleman wrote me the symptoms of otitis of a little child, set. 4 
months, who had a discharge from one ear of an ichorous, thin, offensive 
character, producing an eruption wherever the pus came in contact with 
the integument. I at once sent Kali phos. 6x, ordering it given every six 
hours. In three months the running had all ceased, and the hearing was 
perfect. I frequently use the Silicea in alteration with the Kali phos., 
when the connective tissue is involved. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Another case of " otitis catarrhalis iuternus " came into my office to see 
me, after spending over $600 with the "regulars." This case was the most 
remarkable that I ever witnessed or treated. The man was a tall, slim, 
sanguine, nervous specimen of the genus homo, rude, illiterate, backwoods, 
gaw 7 ky looking, seedy, cross between the ourang-outang, monkey, and 
Chinaman, but possessed of sensation, motion and reflection, proving to 
my mind that he was a man for "a' that" and "a' that." Well, I went 
through the examination sufficiently scrutiniziugly to ascertain the exact 
pathological condition of the trouble I had to meet. There was an enor- 
mous protuberance involving the whole mastoid region, the skin red and 
glistening, soft, pappy, showing signs of an induration and broken-down 
connective tissue, and the whole mass filled with pus, and emitting an 
odor that was as sickening as carrion. I at once plunged a knife into the 
mastoid process, out of which ran about a half pint of blood and pus. After 
cleansing the tumor with Eucalyptus I bound up the wound, leaving in it 
a drainage-tube. I treated the wound every day, putting him under the 
influence of Silicea, a dose every two hours. Under the treatment I had 
the satisfaction of seeing him improve from day to clay, and in four weeks 
the whole trouble ceased. He had no relapse, but the cure advanced 
steadily until he was well. This case was pronounced hopeless by several 
allopaths. (A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

Wm. McKee, set. 27, suffers from deafness, due to chronic non-suppurative 
catarrh of the middle ear. While a lad, and on to manhood, went out a 
great deal at night to dances and parties, where he would dance and romp 
until in a great heat and profuse sweat, when he would go out of doors and 
remove his coat. In this way he would contract a cold, and one cold after

another, until he found himself a sufferer from chronic catarrh of the nose 
and throat, the discharge being continual and very annoying. At this time 
(about six years ago) he noticed a noise commencing in his ears, and it 
gradually increased until he became aware of the fact that his hearing was 
damaged. He then commenced treatment, and not getting immediate re- 
lief from his first doctor he changed, and soon changed again, in this way 
going to several doctors, a few of them old-school specialists, and then gave 
up discouraged, and let the disease run its course unhindered. When he 
came to me (last March) he said he had been unable to hear anything but 
confused noises, even when the loudest tones were used to accost him, for 
five years. He is of medium height, rather slender, with inclination to red 
hair; has blue eyes, a fair complexion, and has a slightly anaemic appear- 
ance. He describes the noise in his ears as dull and rumbling, if he pays 
no particular heed to it; but if he concentrates his thoughts on it, he can 
imagine that it resembles almost any kind of a noise. One thing I wish to 
mention which was quite prominent, and quickly disappeared under the 
the remedy — viz., he would be awakened in the night by a loud bombing 
noise and afterward be unable to sleep " for the racket in his ears." There 
were a number of nervous symptoms in the case that led me to show him 
to Dr. Bartlett: 1. Slight melancholia, would go off alone and brood over 
his troubles for hours. 2. He would stagger while he w T alked. I found his 
tendopatella reflex much decreased, and on standing with his eyes closed 
he would fall over in my arms, couldn't manage at best to take three steps 
forward with eyes closed without falling. I have kept him pretty steadily 
on Ferrum phos., and the improvement is remarkable. He can hear every 
word of the largest sentence by slightly raising the voice when accosting 
him at several feet away. The noises are greatly lessened, he sleeps well, 
and the nervous symptoms are fast disappearing. I have continually in- 
flated the middle ear by Politzer method, once a week. (Dr. F. W. Messerve.) 

Mastoid Periostitis — Siwcea. — Dr. A. T. Sherman, of Minnesota, re- 
ports a case of a man who had suffered for six days with pain in mastoid 
region. On examination found the membrana tympani highly injected, 
tuning-fork was heard indifferently on each side when pressed against pari- 
etal bones; hearing impaired on the affected side. Temperature 102. Very 
weak, nervous; complete muscular paralysis of right side of face. The con- 
dition of the sense of hearing precluded brain decease. There was no diffi- 
culty in swallowing, or other evidence of paralysis of the muscles of the 
fauces, which placed the trouble beyond the origin of the petrosal nerve. 
There was no disturbance of taste or of the salivary glands, which placed 
the trouble beyond the origin of the chorda tympani. He diagnosed mastoid 
periostitis w T ith pressure on the seventh nerve immediately on its exit from 
the duct of Fallopius. On protruding his tongue it was drawn somewhat 
toward the affected side. While contemplating incision, patient mentioned 
that on the previous morning he had found relief and some sleep by placing 
the head in a warm poultice of Indian meal. Gave Silicea- 00 , a dose every 
three hours. In forty-eight hours all pain had ceased and temperature nor- 
mal. Relief from moist warmth was the guiding symptom to the remedy.

It is now three years since this case was discharged, and at the expira" 
tion of two years I heard that there had been no recurrence of any trouble 
whatever. As another year has passed without n^w T s from the patient, the 
improvement doubtless remains permanent. It is needless to say that the 
spraying with salt solution 111 this case was not sufficiently potent to detract 
from the cure, while the catheter could have been but an aid only, espe- 
cially when the permanence of the relief is considered. 

In closing my remarks upon the use of Kali mur. in these aural diseases, 
I will simply state that my experience agrees w 7 ith the observation of 
others that it follows particularly well after Ferrum phos. or Merc, dulcis, 
and is itself sometimes followed especially well by Calcarea sulph. (H. P. 
Bellows, M. D., in N. E. Med. Gaz., Nov., 1889.) 

ENURESIS. 

See Urinary Disorders. 



EPILEPSY. 

Kali mur. — The specific or the chief remedy in this disease, 
•especially when it occurs with or after the suppression of 
eruptions. 

Kali phos. — Epilepsy or epileptic fits with sunken counte- 
nance, coldness and palpitation after the fit. 

Magnesia phos. — Epileptic fits, sometimes the result of 
Aucious habits, which must be restrained. 

Ferrum phos. — Epileptic fits with rush of blood to head. 

Natrum phos. — Is frequently useful as an alternating 
remedy, and for intestinal irritation (worms, etc.). 



ISO THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Silicea. — Nocturnal epilepsy, especially about the time of 
the new moon ; feeling of coldness before the attack, spasms 
spread from the solar plexus upward. Exalted susceptibility 
to nervous stimuli, with exhausted condition of the nerves. 

CLINICAL, CASES. 

Mrs. , widow, set. 30, ever since death of husband, six years ago,. 

epileptic attacks at night while sleeping ; groans, bites her tongue, bloody 
foaming, bowels very constipated, no uterine trouble. Silicea 200 greatly 
lessened the frequency of the attacks. (Hoyne). 

Kali Mur. in Epilepsy.— Dr. C. C. F. Waehendorf reports the case of a 
man, set. 45 years, who had an eruption in September, 1888, which disap- 
peared until August, 1889. In November, 1889, the eruption was sup- 
pressed, and he began to have irregular attacks of "fainting fits." He 
would grow pale, a warm feeling following ; then spasm, with pain in the 
cerebellum, and burning in the region of the stomach. Attacks nearly 
always preceded by fright or fear. Nux, Bufo, and Arsenicum were each 
tried in turn, but failed. Then Kali mur. 6x was prescribed on the indica- 
tion, " Epilepsy from suppressed eruptions" After the sixth day he had 
no attack He still takes occasional doses of the medicine to keep up its 
action. 

A lady, set. 32, married, one child 6 years old, has had spasms since the 
birth of the child, every few days, and very severe during the menses,, 
twenty-four hours at a time, and from a few moments to an hour apart,, 
these continuing three to six days, then every two to four days, in the in- 
terim of menses. The woman was short build, heavy set, short neck, round 
full abdomen, red flushed face, sauguinobilious temperament and of rather 
mild disposition. Headache all the time in temples and back of head, as- 
well as constant heat on top of head ; also severe pain in the lumbar region 
and across sacrum, numb feeling in lower limbs and cold, clammy prespira- 
tion over the whole body. Physicians had pronounced her case ' ' epilepsy, " 
caused by uterine trouble. Without regard to diagnosis, or former treat- 
ment by allopathic medication, I at once gave her Calcarea phos. and Kali 
pkos., three doses each per day, and during menses Magnes. phos. every 
two hours during the first two days of the menses. In two months from 
the first time I saw her, she was apparently well in every way, and became 
pregnant again, and by the use of the Calcarea pkos. had no further trouble. 
(A. P. Davis, M. D.) 

A boy of 13 had suffered since the age of 6 from trembling of the limbs,, 
and was gradually passing into a state of epilepsy. He received, on the 
8th of October, 1888, Kali chlor., six powders. Since the 10th of December 
he has had no return of it. {Monatsblatter.) 

A girl, 23 years old, who had suffered since her seventeenth year from 
epilepsy, received, after having two violent attacks, on the nth of June, 
1885, six powders of Kali phos i0 . On the nth of April, 1887, she wrote: 
"Since the 15th of June, 1885, I have not had an attack." {Monatsblatter.} 



ERYSIPELAS. — EXOPHTHALMIC GOITRE. 1 87 



ERYSIPELAS. 

Ferrum phos. — Rose and erysipelatous inflammations of the 
skin, for the fever and pain and severe symptoms of inflamma- 
tion. 

Kali mur. — Vesicular erysipelas; the chief remedy. Ery- 
sipelas bullosum. 

Kali sulph. — Blistering variety, to facilitate the falling off 

of scabs. 

Natrum phos. — Erysipelas; smooth, red, shiny, tingling or 
painful swelling of the skin. Infiltrated inflammation of the 
skin. 

Natrum sulph. — For the smooth form with or without 
vomiting of bile. (Edematous puffy inflammation of the skin. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mrs. Forbes, a widow, was lying very ill with erysipelas ; high fever and 
quite prostrate. The members of her family thought her dying, as she 
had become delirious. Her head and face so swollen that her eyes were 
literally closed, suffering intense pain. Natrum sulph. and Ferrum phos., 
alternately, a dose ever}' hour and oftener, were given. After the second 
dose of the former she ejected a great quantity of bile. The severe symp- 
toms subsided. This was on Saturday night. The medicine was continued, 
Ferrum phos. now only iutercurrently, as the pulse had become less fre- 
quent. To the astonishment of all her friends, on Wednesday morning she 
was so well that she went out to her work as usual. 

Statistics show a death-rate of 2,000 per annum from this disease. In a 
similar case of erysipelas in a lady, set. 87, these two remedies and a few 
doses of Kali phos. cured her, when the usual treatment, painting with 
iodine, brandy, etc., had no effect in arresting the disease. (M. D. W. 
From Schiissler.)

1 88 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

EYE, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammation of any part of the eyes with- 
out secretion of mucus or pus. Pain in the eyeball, made 
worse by moving the eyes. Burning sensation in the eyes. 
They appear inflamed and red. Abscess on the cornea, in the 
first or inflammatory stage, also intercurrently. Retinitis. 
Great redness with severe pain, without mucus or matter. 
"Conjunctiva congested, and with a sensation as if grains of 
sand were under the eyelids, vision dim, letters blur while 
reading, even though the refraction be normal, or if any error 
exists and is corrected by lenses, or where there is an insuffi- 
ciency of the internal recti muscles so far as can be deter- 
mined. Photophobia worse from artificial lights." (H. F. 
Ivins, M. D.) 

Dr. Robert Cooper reports as having observed three times 
that a stye appeared on the lower lid of the right eye in 
patients who were taking this remedy for debility. "Ferrum 
phos. is especially adapted to conjunctivitis with great relaxation 
of that membrane, and surpasses Aconite in the majority of 
acute superficial inflammations of the eye. In retinitis, with 
great engorgement of the retinal vessels. It has been found 
of great service." (H. C. French, M. D.) 

Kali mur. — Affections of the eye with discharge of white 
mucus or yellow-greenish matter (also Kali sulph.). Feeling 
of sand in the eyes. Yellow, purulent scabs on the lids, specks 
of matter. Blisters on cornea. Inflammation of the iris. 
Superficial flat ulcer arising from a vesicle. Retinitis. Paren- 
chymatous keratitis. Of great use even in the early stage. 
" In diffuse interstitial keratitis in which the cornea is flecked 
over a large extent of its surface with light deposits. We have 
found it of great value. Indeed, we believe it will prove to 
possess a specific influence over many of the pathological 
changes in that organ. In chronic abscess of the cornea it has 
been found to do good." (H. C. French, M. D.) 

In the North American Journal of Homoeopathy , Sept., 1885, 
p. 14, Dr. Geo. S. Norton writes of the use of this remedy in 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 189 

ulceration of the cornea. He has found it useful in ulcers of 
a clearly asthenic type, inflammations of a low degree, tedious 
cases, redness of the conjunctiva is not excessive. Photopho- 
bia, pain and lachrymation are very moderate or absent en- 
tirely. Any part of the cornea may be the seat of the ulcer, 
but it is liable to begin at the periphery and spread to the 
centre. The base of the ulcer is dirty-white or yellow, often 
vascular, and surrounding inflammation is very marked, dis- 
charge moderate and of white, mucus; sometimes there is 
purulent infiltration extending between the layers of the cor- 
nea (onyx) or into the anterior chamber (hypopyon), but even 
then it is asthenic. Sometimes the disease appears more like 
an abscess, breaking down later into an ulcer. The tongue 
will usually have a thin, white coating. (See Clinical Cases.) 
Cataract after Cede, fluor. Dr. Norton communicates to us the 
following : Kali mur. is especially adapted to the non- vascular 
variety of parenchymatous inflammation of the cornea (Aurum 
mur., Cannabis and Merc., active and vascular variety); there 
may be some photophobia and lachrymation, but never exces- 
sive as under Calc. phos. The pains are not distinctive, but 
are always moderate. Redness is present, but is never exces- 
sive, bright-red or fiery. Trachoma. 

Kali phos. — Eyesight weak from an exhausted condition of 
the system, after diphtheria. Sensation of sand or sticks in the 
eyes. Soreness of eyeballs and edges of lids. Burning in eyes 
as if full of smoke. Byes twitch, become blurred, black spots 
before eyes. Photophobia. Excited, staring appearance of the 
eyes, a symptom of nervous disturbances during the course of 
a disease ; drooping of the eyelids, strabismus not spasmodic, 
squinting after diphtheria. Muscular and accommodative as- 
thenopia and incoordination of the occular muscles, especially 
from defective inervation. (H. C. F.) 

Kali sulph. — Eyelids covered with yellow crusts, discharge 
from eyes yellow or greenish matter, yellow, purulent slime or 
yellow, watery secretions. Cataract, dimness of crystalline lens 
(Natr. mur.). Ophthalmia neonatorum. We have found Kali 
sulph. a valuable agent in abscess of the cornea, and superior to 



190 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Kali mur. in cases of pus in the anterior chamber (hypopyon), 
two or three cases of which under this remedy (3X) alone have 
cleared up with gratifying promptness. (H. C. French, M.*D.) 

Magnesia phos. — Drooping of the eyelid, affections of the 
eyes with sensitiveness to light, or contracted pupils, vision 
affected, sees sparks, colors before the eyes, twitching of eyelids, 
spasmodic squinting, dulness of vision from weakness of optic 
nerve, strabismus. Diplopia, supraorbital neuralgia relieved by 
warmth. Hyperesthesia of the retina with flashes of light and 
black specks before eyes, with general nervous excitability. 
(H. C. F.) 

Natrum mur. — Asthenopia, muscular ; the most important 
remedy. Blister on cornea, discharge of clear mucus from eyes 
or flow of tears with obstruction of tear-ducts, neuralgic pains 
periodically returning with flow of tears. Eyes water, secre- 
tion causes scalding of skin or eruption of small vesicles ; gran- 
ulated eyelids without secretion of tears. White spots on the 
cornea. The eye may also be syringed with a solution of this 
remedy externally, daily. The molecules of the salt which 
remain on the spot cause by their hygroscopic nature a gradual 
moistening and absorption of the spot. Ciliary neuralgia. In- 
cipient cataract. Iritis. Natr. mur. is most suitable where *the 
humors of the eyeball are increased in quantity, thus causing 
internal pressure. 

Natrum phos. — Discharge of golden-yellow, creamy matter. 
Conjunctivitis with discharge of yellow, creamy matter. Hy- 
popyon. Lids glued together in the morning ; note conditions 
of the tongue, palate, presence of acid risings, etc. Burning 
lachrymation, eyes bloodshot. Dim sight, as if a veil was before 
the eyes. Scrofulous ophthalmia, squinting caused by intestinal 
irritation, worms, etc. Ophthalmia in newborn infants ; also 
enternally as a wash. " Ophthalmia, profuse, creamy, sticky 
secretion and dim vision, especially in old women ; also when 
accompanied by diarrhoea." (Dufneld.) Sees sparks before 
eyes. Boring pains in the eyes of rheumatic origin. 

Natrum sulph. — Pain over eyes. Granular conjunctivitis. 
Photophobia in scrofulous ophthalmia. Yellowness of the 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 191 

conjunctivae. Large, blisterlike granulations with burning 
lachrymation, burning of edges oflids. Hypopyon. 

Silicea. — Stye on the eyelids, also use as a lotion to remove 
and hasten the discharge painlessly. If much inflammation, 
Ferrum phos. Deep-seated abscess of cornea. Hypopyon. 
Photophobia, sudden paroxysms of nyctalopia. Amblyopia 
and cataract after checked foot-sweat. Boils and cystic tumors 
around eyelids. Opaque cornea. Ciliary neuralgia over right 
eye. Kernels and indurations of the lids. Scrofulous oph- 
thalmia. 

Calcarea phos. — Spasmodic affections of the eyelids, if 
Mag nes. phos. fails. Parenchymatous keratitis in scrofulous 
diathesis. Useful in checking cataract. Dry inflammation of 
the eyes during dentition. Photophobia. Corneal opacity. 
No use where the palpebral conjunctiva is much involved. 
Useful in non-vascular form of diffuse keratitis with more 
marked photophobia than under Kali mur., and accompanied 
l>y well-known scrofulous cachexia. Cataract appearing with 
lupus, cancer or tuberculosis, gout, etc. 

Calcarea sulph. — Deep ulcers on cornea, ophthalmia, pus 
thick and yellow. Inflammation of the eyes with discharge 
■of thick, yellow matter. Deep-seated abscess of the cornea 
{Silicea). Hypopyon, to absorb the effusion of pus in the eye 
(after Silicea). Retinitis. Sensation of foreign body ; has to 
tie up, after injuries. Pus in anterior chamber. Phlyctenular 
keratitis and conjunctivitis, cervical glands enlarged. Inflamed 
canthi. 

Calcarea fluor. — Flickering and sparks before the eyes, spots 
■on the cornea, conjunctivitis, cataract. Indurations in the lids. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Parenchymatous keratitis, inflammation of right cornea extending over 
Ihe whole of its surface, of three months' duration; patient could only count 
fingers; some pain, slight photophobia and redness, pupil dilates slowly 
under Atrop., but quickly contracts again. Aurum mur., Cinnabar, with 
instillations of Atrop. , did 110 good. Kali mur . 6x cured. Cases of chorio-

itself within eight days. The other two cases required Kali mm. after 
Calcarea fluor. 

The following cases from N. A. J. H., September, 1885, p. 15, reported 
by George S. Norton, M. D., allow the beautiful action of Kali mur. in 
ulceration of the cornea: 

Case of ulcer of the cornea large in size, steadily increasing in extent, 
vascular base, moderate redness, no pain, slight photophobia, profuse lach- 
rymation, nose sore, corners ulcerated. Kali mur?. Improvement set in 
at once, and ulcer commenced to heal; within five days the vascularity dis- 
appeared, and in ten days the eye was perfectly well. 

Case of ulcer of the cornea with elevated edges and vascular base, result- 
ing from phlyctenular keratitis; in spite of all treatment it had steadily 
increased; cornea hazy around ulcer. Kali mur?. The ulcer began at once 
to heal, and in two weeks all inflammatory symptoms had disappeared. 

Ulcer of the cornea from the same cause as the above, also a rapidly in- 
creasing purulent infiltration between the corneal layers. Photophobia well 
marked; moderate redness and no pain. Several remedies were adminis- 
tered with no benefit. Kali mur? was prescribed, and a rapid cure fol- 
lowed. 

Child with ulcer near centre of cornea, which was deep; infiltration con- 
siderable. Pus in the anterior chamber; moderately red, no pain; Atrop 
instillation. Hypopyon disappeared, and in twenty-four hours a rapid re- 
covery followed under Kali mur?. 

Mrs. B. U., from C , came to me on account of a swelling on right eye 

which appeared suddenly. A specialist had advised operation; the palpebral 
aperture, which was opened with difficulty, was filled with a yellowish- 
green, projecting mass. The conjunctiva was infiltrated and sight was lost. 
Kali sulph? removed the swelling and inflammatory symptoms completely 
and permanently in one and one-half days. (Quesse.) 

Mrs. M. N., aged 46, was sent to me for treatment on May 9th, 1892, by 
Dr. Boericke, with keratitis, involving the lower nasal third of the left 
cornea. The inflammation had existed since the previous Christmas, and 
had been subjected to rigorous allopathic treatment, with no improvement. 
The entire bulbar and palpebral conjunctiva was intensely inflamed. The 
corneal surface was vascular, with a decided ring of leucocytes round the 
border of the cornea, limited by the diseased area. There was a dense, ir- 
regular white opacity, reaching down into the interstitial elements, occu- 
pying the center of the affected territory, and covering an area of about 
one-eighth of an inch square. The clouded territory reached to the axis of 
vision. She could with difficulty discern large objects on the temporal side, 
but had no central vision. On May 9th she was put on Kali mur. 3X, every 
three hours. There was a marked improvement during the first twenty- 
four hours, and an astringent which had been given for the conjunctivitis, 
was reduced in power and frequency, and finally discontinued. After the 
seventh day the Kali mur. was given in the 6x, every four hours, arid was 
so continued up to the day of discharge. On the 23d vision was £$. The 
larger part of the cloudy area had cleared up, and the leucoma had almost 
disappeared; audit is safe to predict a complete restoration of vision in a 
few weeks under Kali mur. (H. C. French.) 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 193 

Child, aet. 8, with opacity of both corneae, with fresh ulceration and some 
infiltration, no redness. The ulceration healed, and the infiltration speedily- 
cleared up under Kali mur. 6 . 

An ulcer at outer edge of cornea slightly excavated, with vessels running 
to it, improved under this remedy rapidly. 

It may be that Kali mur. will be found useful in cases of clear ulceration 
and absence of infiltration. It is worth a trial. 

A girl had, on the lower edge of the left cornea, a little blister, from 
which a bundle of small veins ran. Feeling of sand in the eye. Edges of 
eyelids are scabby. Kali mur. 1 ' 2 , internally and externally, every six hours 
for three days, cured the cornea in ten days, and in three weeks the scurfi- 
ness of the eyelids, which she had had for two years, had nearly disap- 
peared. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From Hg.) 

Dr. Kock writes: An old woman came to me, aet. 72. She had worn a 
green shade over her eyes, to my recollection, since my younger days, 
when, as a student, I spent my holidays at Simbach with my grandparents. 
This person complained of a constant burning sensation in her eyes, caus- 
ing a continued flow of smarting tears. This commenced at eight o'clock 
in the morning and lasted till sunset. During the night it was better. She 
had much thirst, but little appetite. Externally the conjunctiva palpebra- 
rum was in a chronic state of inflammation. On each side of the nose there 
were excoriation and eczema of the skin, caused by the flow of acrid tears. 
The punctae lachrymosa were dilated; but the tear-ducts were unobstructed. 
I hesitated whether I should give Natruni mur. or Arsenic; but Dr. Schiiss- 
ler' s special mention of Natruni mur. in regard to these excessive lach- 
rymal secretions determined my choice, and I gave Natruni mur. in water, 
one teaspoonful three times a day. In three weeks the symptoms all greatly 
subsided, and shortly after entirely disappeared. (From Schiissler.) 

I have hitherto ouly given Natruni phos. in scrofulous subjects, and only 
then when my old remedies, Calcarea card., etc., failed. One case was par- 
ticularly striking on account of its being cured so rapidly. In May last a 
little girl, set. 8, was brought tome, w T ho suffered from severe conjunctivitis, 
with great dread of light. She had been treated for some time by an ordi- 
nary practitioner, but without effect. I ascertained that her eye affection 
■dated from the time she had had measles, some years previous. Calcarea carb. 
and other medicines proved ineffectual. The enlargements of the glands 
of the neck, and the creamy secretion ot the eyelids, led me to try Natruni 
phos., of which I administered a dose three times daily. A week later 
on, and the child was brought to me, her eyes bright and perfectly cured. 
(From Schiissler.) 

Louis G. , aet. 19, came to my office, July 3d, 1886, by advice of his 

physician, Dr. Nichols, of Hoboken, N. J. The young man was of good 
physique and apparently perfectly healthy. He stated that his right eye 
had been "bloodshot" for a week, and that the vision had been steadily 
failing for five days. Examination of the eye showed moderate photopho- 
bia, lachrymation, conjunctival redness and ciliary injection. The cornea 
was very hazy, appearing like ground glass throughout its whole extent, 
but was not vascular ; the surface was clear. The vision was reduced to

counting fingers six inches from the eye. The history of the case, though 
not clear, pointed toward a strumous rather than a syphilitic origin. Atrop. 
was instilled, and Kali mur. was given internally. Under this treatment 
alone he steadily and rapidly improved until he was discharged, August 
19th, with vision \% . On December 27th he was again seen, when the vision 
in the right eye was found to be perfect ( T f ). But the disease was making 
its appearance in the left eye, as evidenced by moderate inflammatory symp- 
toms, and cornea hazy at the outer edge. L,. V. \%. The same treatment was 
prescribed which had been so successfully employed before, but for two 
weeks the cornea gradually grew more opaque, the redness increased, the 
pain became more marked, as if there were something in the eye, the pho- 
tophobia and lachrymation became excessive, and the vision decreased to- 
counting fingers at six inches. Rhus tox. x was then alternated with 
Kali mur. x, when the sthenic type of the disease soon changed, and 
the inflammatory symptoms rapidly abated, after which, under Kali mur. 
alone, the improvement continued so long that in eight weeks his vision 
was \% , and later became perfect. 

Dr. Kock informed us that a farm servant came to him, and said he could 
not see. Some time before this, a piece of wood had struck him in the eye. 
He had been treated for it ; had had purgatives, leeches and cold water 
applications, and now his sight was quite gone. The particulars of the 
case were these : The bulbus was infiltrated with vascular engorgement. 
The conjunctiva was swollen, and the eyelid also in an irritated and in- 
flamed condition. The cornea was dim, with a smoky appearance of the 
anterior chamber (i. e., between the cornea and iris), and some matter 
could be seen floating quite distinctly. I found no foreign body. The 
subjective results were severe burning pain in the eye, as if from a foreign 
body, and a continuous flow of tears. The man had to keep his eye 
tied up. His appetite was good, and pulse normal. As to the therapeutic 
treatment, I had evidently to deal with two different affections — hypopyon 
(matter in the eye), and conjunctivis. First of all I gave Ferrum phos. y 
a dose every two hours, and in a week the burning pain and watering of 
the eye were less. One week after this the man complained that his sight 
had not improved. Now I had the task of absorption of the matter before 
me, as well as the clearing of the cornea. To meet the first condition I 
gave Hepar sulph., but after a fortnight I could recognize no special 
progress. I felt rather in a fix with the case, as absorption would not take 
place. Remembering an expression of Dr. Quagleo, that he considered 
Schiissler's Calcarea sulph. a still more powerful medicine, I gave some 
Calcarea sulph. to be taken in water in three doses. Scarcely a w r eek after, 
the man came to me, greatly delighted, saying he could see gleams of light 
in the right eye. Positively, I found the cornea less cloudy, and could 
observe that some of the matter had been absorbed. I now gave him only 
a dose night and morning. In three weeks absorption was complete, and 
dimness of the cornea quite removed, and his sight restored. Besides all 
this, all the inflammation of the conjunctiva w r as also cured. (From 
Schiissler.) 

A woman, set. 56, from Sitnbach, who always wore blue spectacles, came 



EYE, DISEASES OF. 1 95 

to see me, as she had become blind in the right eye. The cause and conse- 
quent suffering were as follows: Three years ago, one noon-day in the win- 
ter, she was walking from Arnstorf to Simbach. The whole of the meadows 
were covered with snow, on which the sun was shining brightly, causing a 
strong refraction. Suddenly she felt a severe pain in the right eye, and 
immediately discovered that she had lost the sight of it. She took some 
snow and held it over her eye, which she thought did her some good. On 
reaching home she sent for the doctor, who put a leech to the right temple 
and gave her a strong purgative. She had to keep her bed for three w T eeks. 
The pain subsided, but her sight did not return. Some time after, she 
traveled all the way to Passau, to consult Dr. B., the oculist. He gave her 
a laxative and some ointment, to be rubbed all around the eye (Ungt. 
hydrarg.). As the ointment affected the gum and loosened the teeth, she 
stopped using it, her sight being no better. Later on, when she heard that 
Prof. Rothmund had operated on the pastor of Landau for cataract, she 
went to see him. " If this medicine won't help you, you will remain blind 
for life," were the Professor's words. His prescription was Potassium 
iodide. After having had the prescription made up three times, and using 
it steadily, she felt no improvement, and was quite inconsolable. With her 
right eye she saw nothing; all seemed smoke and mist; and the other eye 
was becoming weaker and weaker from month to month. External exam- 
ination showed the conjunctiva intact, as also the cornea, iris, etc. All 
pointed to internal disease of the inner medium of the eye. I could see 
but little of the retina, as there was a kind of mist over it, which seemed 
to spread from the vitreous humor over the background of the eye. I in- 
troduced the rays of light in different directions, and by this means I was 
better able to obtain sight of the retina. It appeared dim and misty, the 
veins were clearly seen, forming a dark network. In some places there 
were indistinctly defined spots, some larger than others, appearing to me 
like the residue of extravasated blood. The arteries were scarcely visible, 
and seemed to me pale and more contracted than in the normal condition. 
The necessary therapeutic treatment clearly indicated to me was to produce 
abortion of the exuded substance, this being the cause of the dulness of 
sight. According to Professor Rothmund's opinion, inflammation of the 
retina always arises in the connective tissue, and as this exuded substance 
appears of a coagulating nature, which no doubt is fibrinous, and, as is well 
known, can be hypertrophied, and is capable of fatty degeneration, I found 
that of the remedies I could think of the most suitable seemed to be Kali 
mur. I now gave the woman eight powders, each containing two centi- 
grammes; the powder to be dissolved in half a wineglassful of water, a 
tablespoonful to be taken night and morning. A fortnight after, the 
patient came back, saying, "I don't think I am any worse. Please give 
me some more of those powders.'' She received a dozen, with the same 
directions. One morning she called quite early, and told me in great glee 
that on rising that morning she could see the window-sash quite distinctly. 
I tested her sight from different distances, and found that she had really 
improved. " I can see pretty well through the mist," she said. Kali mur*

was continued in small doses, and in four months her sight was restored. 
(From Schiissler.) 

Girl, aet. 16, recurring keratitis. Left eye much inflamed, photophobia, 
slight haziness of the cornea, and traversed with red vessels; zonular red- 
ness. Calcarea phos. 3X completely restored the patient, I have never 
found it of any use where the palpebral conjunctiva was much engorged. 
(R. T. Cooper.)

wipe them often and pull at the lashes. Is emmetropic, though can read 
No. 15 at fifteen feet with difficulty from blurring of the letters, not im- 
proved by glasses. A candle held twelve inches seems double, and the

FEVERS, SIMPLE. 

See also Special Fevers. 

Ferrum phos. — Catarrhal fevers with quickened pulse. 
Feverishness in all stages, all inflammatory fevers, rheumatic, 
etc., the chief remedy. " The most beneficial results have been 
obtained from its use in the prevention of traumatic fever." 
Synochal fevers. Chill every day at 1 p. m. Dry heat of 
palms, face, throat and chest. 

Kali mur. — With constipation and a thick white fur on the 
tongue. Catarrhal fever great chilliness, the least cold air 
chills him through, has to sit close to the fire to keep warm 
and still is chilly. Better covered up in bed. (Holbrook.) 

Kali sulph. — When the blood heat rises in the evening it 
assists in producing perspiration, and warm coverings should 
frequently be applied and this remedy given very frequently. 
Also fevers from blood-poisoning. 

Natrum mur. — Hay fever with watery discharge from the 
eyes and nose. 

Kali Phos. — Nervous fevers, high temperature, quick and 
irregular pulse, nervous excitement or great weakness and de- 
pression. In fevers of low type, dry mouth, sordes on the teeth 
and delirium, this remedy has produced the grandest results. 
(Meadow.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 
M. L-, a gentleman, set. 38, took a chill while in a state of perspiration. 
He suffered in consequence from tearing pains in the limbs, noises in the

ears, with duluess of hearing and frontal headache. These pains were ac- 
companied by fever ; and although he had night-sweats, they brought no 
relief. The appetite was poor and the tongue covered with a white coating. 
I gave a small quantity of Kali mur. in water every two hours. A rapid 
general movement set in, but pain and numbness in the feet were still pre- 
sent. Also the habitual perspiration of the feet was still absent. At this 
stage the patient received Silicea, two doses daily for a week. Perspiration 
of feet was re-established, and on the reappearance of this the rest of the 
ailments left him, and health was quite restored. (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. G. H. Martin reports a case of high fever (104 ), general exhaustion, 
lameness in muscles, headache and diminished appetite, in which he pre- 
scribed Ferrum phos. I2x, which did no good, the patient declaring the 
following day that his symptoms were worse. Ferrum phos. 6x, which was 
then prescribed, caused an immediate improvement. 

FISTULA IN ANO. 

Calcarea phos. — Calcarea phos. ix and Silicea 3X, a dose 
three times a day, alternated every week, is the treatment re- 
commended by Dr. C. R. Fleury.

ticular time, even in sleep, and lasting one-half or one hour, appetite poor. 
Ferrum p/ios. cured, and appetite became ravenous. (Raue, Rec. Horn. 
Lit., 1875.) 

An officer suffered for a long time from pains in the abdomen, together 
with pressure and fulness in the stomach and constipation. The tongue 
was coated with a yellow slime. He had been treated for three weeks by 
an allopath without any result whatever. The bowels were so constipated 
that he could only have a passage by taking a strong purgative. Kali 
sulph. 6x, three powders in water dose every two hours. The result was 
surprising. The next morning the patient had a natural stool, and the 
abdominal distress was nearly all gone. In two weeks he was entirely 
cured, having taken only two powders. — Pop. Zeit., Dec., 1855. 

A young man with chronic dyspepsia. After trying several remedies 
without effect, I discovered in the mouth a thin, yellow, creamy coating 
on the soft palate. This induced me to give the patient Natrum phos., 
w 7 hich cured him in a short space of time. (C. Hg.) 

The following is a resume from a case in A. H. Z., '82, p. 51 : Woman 
suffered for five years from dyspepsia. After eating, nausea, vomiting of 
food ; the vomit is so sour that it sets teeth on edge ; cannot bear sour 
things. Vomiting appears in the morning and after eating, accompanied 
by cephalalgia. Hammering in the forehead and temples so violent that 
she fears apoplexy. Menstruates every three weeks with profuse flow. 
Troubled sleep, disturbed by anxious dreams. Feels tired in the morning, 
and feels so tight in her clothes that she must loosen them. Ferrum phos* 
three times a day, a dose before meals, cured the case. Many symptoms 
pointed to Natrum phos., but the totality of the symptoms favored Ferrum 
phos. 

Notes from letter to Schiissler by a doctor in Paderborn {A. H. Z., 1882, 
p. 102): I recently had a case exactly like the preceding, healed in ten days 
by Ferrum phos}®, after I had treated him five weeks in vain with Natrum 
phos. 

A young man complained of an unnatural appetite. He had to eat 
almost every hour, feeling such an intense craving for food, yet he felt 
exhausted and languid. There were no secondary symptoms present. 
The tongue was clean, the urine was not increased, evacuations normal. 
Kali phos. cured the patient in the course of two days. (From Schiissler.) 

Farmer B. consulted me for a singular affection. All acid food caused an 
attack beginning with a strong chill, followed by fever and profuse weak- 
ening sweat. Natrum mtir. % . After 14 days he informed me that the at- 
tacks had entirely ceased, and the partaking of acid foods did not cause 
him the least discomfort. (Dr. Quesse.) 

A landed proprietor, aet. 44, wrote to me a few weeks ago: "The medicine 
I have taken very steadily, and for a long time attended strictly to my diet. 
In spite of this, my trouble is no better; I may almost say it has become 
worse. The conditions w 7 ere these: 1. I feel almost constantly a taste 
as of bile. 2. My tongue is covered with a curdy, bitter coating. 3. 
During the day, especially after food, I suffer from eructations of gases, 
which have either a bitter taste or are tasteless. 4. My complexion is 



202 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

rather yellow. 5. The appetite very slight; no thirst. My favorite bever- 
age, beer, is distasteful to me. 6. I incline to shiver, and am somewhat 
faint. 7. My head is but little involved, but feel a constant pressure over 
one eye. 8. Stools are normal, but scanty, on account of spare diet. The 
whole condition discloses that I have bile in the stomach." Thus far the 
patient's own report. To this I may add that the patient in question had 
already taken by my orders Nux vom. and Pulsat. He had used the waters 
of Marienbad the previous summer on the recommendation of another 
medical man. I sent him now Natrum sulph., with the request to take 
daily three doses of this powder. The gentleman came six or seven days 
later to my consulting rooms to thank me for the valuable medicine. 
"The powder," he said, "has really worked wonders. All my ailments 
have disappeared as if by magic, and I feel at last perfectly well." (From 
Schiissler.) 

Dr. Mossa, Bamberg, reports: Toward the end of last year I received a let- 
ter with the following details, and asking me to forward some medicine: 
"My boy, a child, aet. 7, hitherto healthy and strong, has been suffering 
from pains in the stomach for some weeks. Latterly he has vomited all his 
food, sometimes immediately after taking it, and at other times not till 
•during the night. The child has now become very emaciated. Last week 
he was frequently feverish. This has, however, not returned since taking 
the medicine our doctor here has given him. The boy complains of much 
•exhaustion." To form a scientific diagnosis of the case on such informa- 
tion was clearly impossible. But, as it was not convenient for me person- 
ally to examine the case, I had to do my best with the details furnished. 
The nature of the abdominal pains pointed to swelling and enlargement of 
the organs of the viscera, liver spleen, etc.; also the feverish attacks, proba- 
bly subdued by quinine, and the vomiting of food, all coincided with my 
surmises. As to the selection of the medicine, I hesitated considerably, 
and then decided to give Fernim p/ios., twelve powders, one night and 
morning. The report some time after was very favorable. The fever had 
not returned; the vomiting of food and pains in the stomach had quite 
ceased soon after taking the medicine. The little fellow was so much 
stronger that he attended school again. (From Schiissler.) 

W. Watson, set 40. Ulceration of stomach, vomited all his food, and lat- 
terly the egesta had the appearance of coffee-grounds. He had suffered 
from vomiting and indigestion more or less for fourteen years, had seen 
many doctors, and taken much medicine without avail. I advised him to 
take Ferrum ft/ios. 6 and Natrum ft/ios. 6 , in usual quantities, and a table- 
spoonful every two hours alternately for a fortnight. On his second visit 
he was free from vomiting, had little pain, and felt greatly better. He con- 
tinued another ten days with the same remedies, and returned quite well. 
On making special inquiry if he had nothing troubling him, he said : "No, 
the only thing I sometimes trouble myself about, is thinking after taking 
any kind of food, whether it will trouble me, but it never does." His cure 
has proved permanent, as it is now nearly two years since, and he is keep- 
ing well. (M. D. W. From Schiissler.) 

Patient with troublesome burning in the stomach after eating and con-

tinning until next meal time ; pain develops one or two hours after meals ; 
tongue light-gray, no bad taste, no tenderness, bowels regular, stools nor- 
mal, no thirst, the burning was so troublesome as to keep him awake at 
night. Natrum ph os. cured. {Med. Era.) 

Child with indigestion after typhoid fever. Everything soured on his 
stomach, breath sour, vomited curdled milk, and sour-smelling fluids, 
green stool alternating with constipation, was troubled with colic, white- 
coated tongue and white around mouth, fretful, cross and restless. Natrum 
phos. cured. {Med. Era.) 

An old man, some 60 years of age, came to see me ; he had "dyspepsia," 
the doctors said. Emaciated, pale, swarthy, no appetite, restless, bowels 
inactive, stools sometimes light-colored and at times costive, tongue thickly 
coated with a brownish-yellow tinge, bitter taste, conjunctiva bluish- white, 
skin wrinkled and bowels retracted and shrunken, shrivelled, and a pain in 
the stomach of a burning character after eating ; and from the general 
character of the case, assimilation was greatly at fault. The man had 
"been, and was at the time, taking Argentum in pill form, from a ''regu- 
lar," three doses a day, and had been for a year or more ; all to no purpose 
except to hasten the emaciation. After surveying the situation and taking 
all conditions, I at once put him on Natrum sulph. 6x, three doses a day 
before meals, and Kali phos. 6x, as a nerve remedy. These two remedies 
perfectly cured the " dyspepsia " and all the other troubles, so that in about 
three weeks he was a well man, the Natrum sulph. correcting all the liver 
and stomach troubles and the Kali phos. building up the nerve forces. (A. 
P. Davis, M. D.) 

GLANDULAR AFFECTIONS. 

Kali mur. — This is the chief remedy in glandular swellings, 
infiltration of the follicular glands of the throat. Glands of 
the neck are swollen (also apply externally). Scrofulous en- 
largement of glands, enlarged abdominal glands sometimes 
with diarrhoea. 

Natrum mur. — Chronic inflammation of the salivary glands, 
with corresponding symptoms, excess of saliva, etc. Chronic 
swelling of lymphatic glands. Swelling of sebaceous glands. 

Natrum sulph. — Sycotic glandular swellings. 

Silicea. — In suppurating glands to shorten process, also for 
scrofula induration and swelling of glands, with or without 
inflammation. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic enlargement of the glands, as an 
intercurrent. Scrofulous enlargement of the cervical glands. 
Bronchocele, goitre. Incipient tabes mesenterica with fetid 
•diarrhoea. 



204 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Calcarea sulph. — Lymphatic glands discharging pus (com- 
pare abscess). Ulceration of the glands. 

Calcarea fluor. — Glandular swellings, if very hard. Stony 
hardness of the glands. Qmanic adenitis. Indurations in 
capsular ligaments of joints. Knots and kernels in the female 
breast. Ganglium tendinosum. 

Ferrum phos. — Acute stage of adenitis. 

Natrum phos. — Goitre. An important remedy in all gland- 
ular swellings. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Natrum phos. 3X relieved pressure in thirteen cases of goitre by taking a 
dose three times a day ; pressure was relieved in from three to five days. 
In some instances a cure was effected. (J. S. Skeels, M.D., Hahnemannian 
Monthly, 1880.) 

A swelling under the chin the size of a pigeon's egg was considerably 
reduced by Kali mur., but still there was induration (hardness) with an 
uneven surface. Calcarea fluor., taken for a few days, caused it to dis- 
appear altogether. Shortly after its disappearance the patient had slight 
conjunctivitis with swelling, which Kali mur. soon cured. (Dr. K. From 
Schiissler.) 

Grauvogl, in his Text-book, page 360, gives a remarkable result from six 
weeks' use of Natrum sulph. in a case of chronic swelling of the cervical 
glands, so extensive as to practically obliterate the neck. All known 
treatment at the universities failed ; but Natrum sulph. 3X, every two 
hours, produced rapid improvement in the swelling and general health of 
the patient. 

GONORRHCEA. 

Natrum phos. — This, according to Schiissler's last (18th) 
edition, is the principal remedy for gonorrhoea. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammatory stage of gonorrhoea. (N. B. 
— Avoid pressing along the urethra to bring out pus, as it is 
very injurious, and retards a cure.) Even walking, going 
up-stairs, etc., is a great impediment to the cure. 

Kali mur. — This is the chief remedy in gonorrhoea. It is,, 
in fact, a specific for cases in which swelling exists, whether 
from subcutaneous or interstitial exudation. Gleet combined 
with eczema, latent or visible, or a disposition to glandular 
swellings. Figwarts. 

Kali phos. — Gonorrhoea with discharge of blood. Balanitis 
and balano-posthitis. 



HEMORRHAGE. 205 

Kali sulph. — Gonorrhoea with a slimy yellow or greenish 
discharge. Gleet. Old gonorrhoeas. 

Natrum mur. — Chronic gonorrhoea. Trasparent, watery dis- 
charge, slimy. This remedy and Calcareaphos. should be given 
in alternation for gleet. Gonorrhoea, with scalding, is a charac- 
teristic of this remedy; in old gonorrhoea, with one last per- 
sistent drop. Urethra painfully sore to pressure. After injections 
•of nitrate of silver. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic gonorrhoea with anaemia. Hydro- 
cele. 

Calcarea sulph. — Gonorrhoea with sanious, purulent dis- 
charge. 

Natrum sulph. — Chronic gonorrhoea with yellowish, green- 
ish discharge, which keeps up, of thick consistency. Very little 
pain. In gonorrhoea, use the third decimal every hour or two, 
four drops in a little water. (Grauvogl.) Enlarged prostate. 
Figwarts. 

Silicea. — Gonorrhoea cases of long standing, with thick, 
fetid pus. Constant feeling of chilliness, even during exercise. 
Balanitis. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

In the Pop. Zeit., Berlin. Verein Horn. Aerzte, April, 1886, Fer -rum phos. 
is recommended in fresh cases of gonorrhoea followed by Kali mur. and 
Kali sulph. 

A man, set. 70, suffered for three years from discharge from the urethra; 
secretion small in quantity; clear mucus; on urinating, violent burning- 
sticking pains. Kali sulph., Kali mur. and Natrum mur. did no good. 
Magnesia phos? cured the case in four weeks. The character of the pains 
was the prominent indication. (Schiissler, Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1875.)

ternally, in conjunction with surgical aid. Epistaxis of bright 
red blood, whether from injury or otherwise ; this generally suf- 
fices, especially in children. Hemorrhage of bright red blood, 
rapidly coagulating. Vomiting of bright red blood. Tendency 
to nosebleed in rapidly growing children. 

Kali mur. — When the blood is dark, black, clotted or tough. 



2o6 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Vomiting of blood dark, clotted and viscid. Nosebleed in the 
afternoon. 

Calcarea sulph. — Epis taxis. Nasal secretions tinged with 
blood.

soreness of limbs. 

Calcarea fluor. — Haemoptysis ; bright red blood ; short hack- 
ing cough from over-exertion. 

Natrum sulph. — "I have known this remedy in several 
cases to produce violent epistaxis when wrongly given. In a. 
recent case the 200 potency produced nosebleed, vomiting and 
purging after every dose taken." (E. H. H.) 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. E- B. Rankin, in the Southern Journal of Homoeopathy, reports a 
case of hemorrhage of the bowels, of dark, black blood, viscid and pro- 
fuse, cured by Kali mur. 6x. 

Lady, set. 72, large and corpulent, dark eyes and hair, subject to attacks 
of apoplectiform cerebral congestion, was found in apoplectic state, with 
cold extremities, clammy sweat on forehead and face; head hot and livid; 
unconscious low, stertorous breathing. Ferrum phos. 6 , teaspoonful every 
half hour ; conciousuess returned in two hours. Was up the next day. 
The same remedy has been used in subsequent attacks with the same results. 
Patient states that never before had she been relieved so soon and effectually. 
(F. A. Rockwith, M. D., American Journal Homoeopathic Materia Medica r 

1875.) 

Dwight H., set. 12, has been subject to nosebleed for past few years. During 
this time he became very anaemic. Has taken different remedies from the 
family physician without permanently arresting the trouble. I was called 
to see him after a very severe attack, and found him much prostrated and 
blanched from loss of blood. Gave him at once China off. ix, in water, for 
a few hours, till I could send him some powders of Ferrum phos. 6 \ which he 
took in solution for some weeks, a few doses each day, with result of per- 
manently arresting the hemorrhage. (C. T. M.) 



HEMORRHOIDS. 207 

HEMORRHOIDS. 

Note. — In the treatment of hemorrhoids, attention must be 
paid to disturbances in the function of the liver, the digestive 
organs, etc., which are, as a rule, present and stand in close 
connection with the former ; otherwise a radical cure of hemor- 
rhoids cannot be insured.

CLINICAL CASES. 
A very interesting case came under my treatment. A lady, fifty-five 
years old, had such excruciating headache that she was partially insane ; 
she claimed her brain was ruptured and running out of her eyes. A yellow- 
gray curd was exuding from her eyes She had been suffering for some 
days. I gave her Kali phos. 3X, which acted like a charm. In two hours 
the dose was repeated, and the result was perfect relief. Some four weeks 
later she had another attack, but not so bad. I gave her Kali phos. 6x, 
and wishing to watch the case, I called in two hours. She said: "That was 
not the same medicine you gave me before ; the action is barely percepti- 
ble. " I then gave 3X, and in two hours she was well. Now, I have always 
been in favor of high potencies, but this experience seems to indicate that 
quantity comes in as a factor ; if so, it should be noted that one dose of 3X 
is equal to one thousand of 6x. (Selected.) 

1. Severe headache, general soreness of the vertex, soreness of scalp, 
cannot bear to have hair touched, great nervousness at night. Ferrum 
phos. 6x gave speedy relief. 

2. Frontal headache, relieved by nosebleed which followed. Ferrum 
■bhos. 6x cured. 

3. Patient could not see; seemed as if blood rushed into the eyes. Fer- 
rum phos. 6x cured. 

4. Dull pain on top of head during menses cured as by magic by a few 
doses of Ferrum phos. (Raue, Rec. Horn. Lit., 1875.) 

5. Headache beginning every night at ten o'clock with chill or conges- 
tive symptoms. Magnesia phos., iox dil., cured. (Translated by S. L.) 

Case of young lady with excruciating nervous headache, with great sensi- 
tiveness to noise, during the second day of menstruation. Kali phos. 12 
produced, immediately after taking it, a great increase of the menstrual 
ilow with sudden relief of the headache. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M.D. From 
Hg.) 

M. K., aet. 16, has suffered for years from periodically returning head- 
aches. The pain is concentrated in the right temple, and of a boring 
nature, as if a screw were being driven in — as the patient expresses herself. 
Preceding this pain there are burning sensations at the pit of the stomach, 
bitter taste in the mouth and lassitude. These symptoms are only felt at 
night, or in the morning. When the attack comes on, the patient is quite 
unable to attend to any ordinary duties. Generally vomiting of bile fol- 
lows, and then improvement sets in. Natrum sulph. daily, the size of a 
Dean, dissolved in water, and taken repeatedly, cured the young lady 
entirely. (From Schiissler.) 

Young lady, set. 16, suffered for years from periodical attacks of sick 
headache, characterized by boring pain in right temple, preceded by burn- 
ing in stomach, bitter taste, languor. Pain comes on at night or in morn- 
ing, followed by vomiting of bile, with subsequent relief. Natrum sulph*, 
daily doses, cured permanently.

■every dose, cured permanently by Natrum mur. 

Obstinate case of singultus in a patient suffering from typhoid fever, 
almost continued, so violent in character that the patient was sore for 
three days. Other remedies were tried without effect ; prescribed Mag- 
nesia phos. The result was remarkable : within an hour the difficulty was 
modified, and the next day he was very much improved, and speedily 
yielded to the continued use of the remedy. (John Fearn, M. D., Califor- 
nia Med. Journal, August, 1887.)

CLINICAL CASES. 

Miss R., aet. 16, menstruated once when thirteen years old, and not since. 
Was a remarkably healthy and well-nourished girl, until three mouths 
before she consulted me, when she began to decline. She lost flesh, became 
pale, languid and weak, and suffered much with her stomach. When I was 
called to see her she was not able to retain her food, and it would be vomited 
as soon as taken; complained of great pain in the stomach immediately 
after eating, even the lightest food; on several occasions the pain caused 
severe hysterical convulsions. The tongue was but slightly coated white; 
bowels constipated; abdomen tympanitic and very sensitive to the slightest 
pressure; no fever, but much thirst; water, like food, was ejected as soon 
as swallowed. At first I thought that I had a case of nervous dyspepsia to 
deal with, but finally concluded I had a case of true hysteria, as she was so 
extremely nervous and hyperaesthetic all over, and much given to tears 
when any one was around. I also found that she had the convulsions when- 
ever her plans were thwarted in any way, and upon my threatening to put 
her in cold water if she had another she stopped them. Ferrum phos. I2x 
relieved the stomach trouble in one week, and Kali phos. I2x relieved all 
of the other symptoms in two weeks more, and my patient was soon as 
strong and healthy as before her illness. Menstruation returned two 
months after, and she has been all right since. (Geo. H. Martin, M- D., 
S. F.) 

Miss B., set. 50, tall, slender and dark, had been suffering many years 
from an excessively nervous condition, and would become hysterical upon 
the slightest provocation. She also suffered much from spasmodic reten- 
tion of urine, and often had to use the catheter. One day she came to me, 
saying that the end of the catheter had been broken off while she was using 
it, and the end was still in the bladder. I dilated the urethra with my fore- 
finger, and soon recovered it, the bladder at the time being well filled with 
urine. She would not take an anaesthetic, although I advised it, as the 
pain was intense. That evening, six hours after the removal of the catheter, 



2l6 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

she sent for me, saying that she was in great pain and very ill. When I 
saw her I found her very nervous, and suffering much from pain in the 
bladder and abdomen, with a great desire to urinate. The abdomen was 
enormously distended and very sensitive. There was no fever. I gave 
Belladonna 3X and returned next morning. Symptoms all worse, but still 
no fever. Attempted to drain urine, but could not introduce the soft rub- 
ber catheter, as the spasm of the urethra was so great. Two hours later 
returned with silver catheter ; introduced it, but only got a few drops of 
urine. Thinking there might be some uterine trouble, I determined to ex- 
amine and find out. As she was so sensitive, I gave her a little Chloroform. 
She had not taken but a few inhalations when the tympanitis disappeared. 
I examined uterus and bladder, and found nothing abnormal, so concluded 
she was suffering from hysteria. Gave Magnesium phos. I2x, which very 
shortly relieved bladder symptoms, and Kali phos. I2x cured the case in 
about ten days. She has had no more return of the trouble since, and 
the other symptoms of hysteria were also much modified. (Geo. H. 
Martin, M. D., S. F.) 

INFLAMMATIONS IN GENERAL. 

Ferrum phos. — In the hypersemic stage, indifferent as to the 
organ involved and regardless of canse. Always before exuda- 
tion has set in. 

Kali mur. — In the second stage, recent cell-proliferation and 
opaque, white discharge. 

Kali sulph. — Riper yellow, fatty, degenerated secretion. 

Calcarea sulph. — In the third stage, that of resolution, with 
purulent, profuse secretion. 

Silicea. — Lower form, suits also the lower nerve-irritability. 
(J. C. Morgan.) 

INFLUENZA. 

La Grippe. 

Natrum sulph. — This is the remedy for influenza. Since 
the disease is caused by an excess of water in the cellular tissues. 
In the sequelae of this disease brought on by treatment with 
other remedies Natrum sulph. is curative. 

INTERMITTENT FEVER. 

Natrum sulph. — Intermittent fever in all its stages requires 
this remedy chiefly (3X trit). Hydrogenoid constitution, worse 



INTERMITTENT FEVER. 217 

in damp weather. Tertian form. The applicability of Natrum 
sulph. is shown by the following physiologico-chemical con- 
siderations. In ague patients the quantity of water in the 
blood-corpuscles and in the blood serum is increased, and con- 
sequently the amount of oxygen taken up by the blood is di- 
minished. Natrum sulph. promotes the removal of excess of 
water from the organism. When by its action the proportion 
of water in the corpuscles has been reduced to the normal con- 
dition, the corpuscles are again able to take up the full amount 
of oxygen and distribute it to the tissues. As the tissues are 
in this way brought back from their pathological to their 
normal physiological condition, they are enabled to remove 
from the organism the cause of the ague — be it marsh-gas 
(miasma), or bacteria (fungi). Dry mountain air, which is rich 
in oxygen, can cure ague spontaneously, because the organism 
takes up a large amount of oxygen and disposes of much water 
by evaporation. Ague patients must abstain from milk diet, 
buttermilk, eggs, fat and fish. "Intermittent fever, bilious, 
bloody stools ; greenish or bronze colored coating on back of 
tongue, a very constant symptom; conjunctive yellow." (Duf- 
field.) 

Natrum phos. — Intermittent fever with vomiting of acid, 
sour masses.

perspiration. Quartan form. 

Ferrum phos. — Intermittent fever with vomiting of food. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic intermittent fever or children, as 
an intercurrent remedy.

thirst throughout all stages. Violent headache relieved by 



2l8 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

perspiration. Fever-blisters around lips. If hydroa be present 
in first onset of the fever, even if not present later, after the 
abuse of quinine. In nursing children, hydroa on the lips and 
later the ulcers which succeed them, with forenoon attacks,, 
are guiding. (H. C. Allen.) Masked intermittents appearing 
as neuralgia of head and face. 

Kali sulph. — Intermittent fever with yellow, slimy coated

dies. Paroxysms every other day at n a. m , with severe pain in limbs and 
small of back ; chill lasts nearly two hours, with no thirst during chill. 
Fever all the afternoon, with bursting headache and intense thirst for large 
quantities of cold water. Little or no perspiration, eats and sleeps well, 
and next day resumes his occupation. Natrum imir. 30 trit., every four 
hours, during the ap}'rexia. Next chill light and no return. (H. C. Allen.) 

Dr. Sherbino, of Dallas, Texas, reports two cases of ague cured with. 
Magnesia phos. 13X. The indications were : Before chill, pain in the neck, 
stiffness, pain down the spine ; during chill, cramps in lower limbs, amel- 
iorated by some one taking hold of the foot or feet and drawing on them 
or extending them [which will relieve any cramp in extremities — Eds.]; 
thirst before and during chill, none during heat, or sweat relieves ; cramps 
and vomiting at same time during chill. (S. J. H.) 

KIDNEY, AFFECTIONS OF. 

Ferrum phos. — In Bright's disease, when feverishness is 
present. Inflammatory stage of nephritis; all inflammatory 
pain is relieved by this remedy. "Urine has a profuse mucous 
sediment; blood is red, and charged with blood corpuscles." 
(Arndt.) 

Natrum mur. — Tension and heat in renal region. Brick- 
dust sediment; hsematuria. Dr. Menninger claims that this 
drug will produce a decrease in the amount of albumen, and 
an increase in the amount of urea, and a very marked increase 
in the quantity of chlorides eliminated. In Bright's disease he 
recommends it as an adjunct to all recognized modes of treat- 
ment. 

Kali mur. — Inflammatory diseases of the kidneys, for the 
swelling. Croupous nephritis. Cardiac asthma with sensa-

low sediment. 

Kali phos. — For the great functional disturbance of nerve- 
centres, in alternation with Calcarea phos. for the albumen. 
CEdema pulmonum, intermittent action of heart.

scarlatinosa with this remedy. 

Kali sulph. — Diseases of the kidneys after scarlet fever, 
albuminous urine. 

Natrum phos. — Gravel in the kidneys. 

Natrum sulph. — Aids in the throwing off of gravel by in- 
creasing the secretion of urine. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I have had two cases of Bright's disease following scarlatina. Tube casts 
were present. Albumen, general anasarca. Heart weakness. Retinitis 
albumimirica. There seemed to be extensive destruction of tissue, and as 
the cases also presented a profuse desquamation, I gave them Calcarea 
sulph. 6x, which speedily brought about a cure. (C E. Fisher, M. D.) 

G. S., an old man of 77, consulted me for what he called a "laziness of 
his kidneys." Urine was, in fact, very scanty and loaded with albumen. 
The case seemed, at first sight, to be a hopeless one ; he was also forgetful 
and quite nervous. I gave him Calcarea phos. 6x tr. a dose every two hours- 
iu alternation with Kali phos After six weeks' treatment, urine was 
normal, his memory was somewhat restored, and since six months he has 
not complained. As to diet, I only recommended to him to eat asparagus 
just as much as he could at his meals, and continue the use of the afore- 
mentioned medicines. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.)

LABOR, PREGNANCY, ETC. 

Ferrum phos. — "I am in the habit of giving this remedy 
after parturition with marked relief of after-pains, and pre- 
ventive of the fever of lactation." (W. M. Pratt, M. D., North 
American Journal Homoeopathy, May, 1883.) Mastitis, first

labor-pains. Tedious labor from constitutional weakness ; this 
remedy gives vigor and helps materially. Labor-pains weak 
and irregular. Rigid os, with thick, doughy lips, patient rest- 
less, tearful and nervous. "For three years I have employed 
Kali phos. ^ in doses the size of a bean, dry on the tongue, every 
ten or fifteen minutes, as a remedy to excite labor-pains. It 
has never failed me, and I seldom have to give the third dose. 
My practice is extensive ; have had over ninety cases in six 
years. Magnesia phos., in spasmodic pains and eclampsia, has 
done well for me. I give generally after the birth Ferrum 
phos., a dose daily, to avoid inflammation." (Dr. Rozas, Pop. 
Zeit., April, 1887.) After pains usually the best remedy. 

Kali mur. — Chief remedy in puerperal fever. Mastitis to

ings. Hard lumps in breast. Child refuses milk, or vomits as 
soon as taken. Nipples crack and ulcerate. 
CLINICAL CASES. 
"The better acquainted I become with this system, the more pleased I 
am with it. In labor, when the pains are too weak and irregular, I have 
seen nothing act more promptly and effectually than Kali phos. For 
spasmodic, crampy pains, Magnesia phos. is a gem. After a delivery, I 
give Ferrum phos., where I used to give Aeon, and Art. rac, to be followed 
or accompanied by whatever may be indicated. I also use as a wash 3X to 
the vulva and abdomen, and for syringing the vagina morning and night. 
The parts heal quickly under this treatment, and with the use of other 
remedies, as indicated, the patient makes a good recovery. — Ecle die Medi-

sensitive, weakly women, whose constitutions are imperfectly 
nourished owing to deficient or imperfect assimilation. 

CLINICAL CASES. 
M. M., a young lady, set. 17, consulted me on account of an obstinate 
acrid leucorrhcea. I tried the whole series of remedies indicated for such 
•cases. All were without effect, so that I could not but wonder at the 
patience and perseverance of the patient, whom I saw once a week. In 
this case Schiissler again helped me out of the dilemma. Kali mur. 
•effected a quick and permanent cure. (Dr. S. From Schiissler.)

CLINICAL. CASES. 
Last summer my second daughter returned from a visit to New Jersey 
-with an immense wart on her hand. In a few days she was taken quite ill 
with fever, which I took to be of a bilious nature; gave Natrum sulph. She 
became deeply jaundiced and grew worse while taking this remedy. I then 
changed to Kali mur. and she began to improve immediately and was well 
in a few days. After she had taken a few doses of the Kali mur. the 
jaundice began to abate and the wart fell off. (E- H. H.) 

MARASMUS.

lected and suppuration sets in, wound discharges pus. 

Calcarea fluor. — Bruises of the bones, skins, etc.

224 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

pain in his head ; much photophobia. Natrum sulph. was given, and the- 
first dose cured him. He has never had any pain about the head since, 
has had no more mental trouble and no more fits. (Prof. J. T. Kent, 
Medical Advance, Sept., 1886.) 

In September, last autumn, I was in the Highlands. The dairymaid of 
a farmer there spoke to me, saying she had hurt her thumb while sharpen- 
ing a scythe. The case proved to be this : The whole thumb of the left 
hand was swollen, and of a bluish-red color, and very painful when 
touched, much inflamed, and there was a small wound at the extensor side 
at the joint above the nail. On pressure there was a whitish-yellow dis- 
charge, mixed with white shreds. Both phalanges were easily displaced, 
and a peculiar noise was heard, which I had observed before in similar cases. 
This fact made me decide on giving Calcarea flnor. The medical man in 
the village, whom the farmer had consulted, said amputation was the only 
thing that could be done for the case. She took Calcarea fluor. ; and some 
time after, the farmer had occasion to see me, when he informed me that 
the servant's thumb was quite well. (From Schiissler. ) 

MEASLES. 

Ferrum phos. — Measles in all stages, especially in the initia- 
tory and prodromic, also for the symptoms of inflammatory

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. Kock, of Munich, reports : In thirty-five cases of measles which 
came under my treatment, coryza and bronchial catarrh were very slight in 
the premonitory stage. Conjunctivitis and intolerance of light along with 
it were the more prominent symptoms. Within a few days after, the rash 
appeared, lasting five or six days, and then disappeared. But either during- 
the blush of the rash or the fading of it, painful swelling of one or both 
glands below the ear set in. The children again became feverish, and were 
crying and moaning both day and night. The remedy which I now chose 
was Ferrum fihos., and, according to the violence of the fever, I ordered a 



MENINGITIS. — MENTAL STATES. 225 

spoonful of the solution every hour or two. I gave it at the premonitory 
stage, and when I saw that it proved very satisfactory, I looked for no other 
remedy. For the glandular swelling, external redness and painfulness, I 
used the same medicine, and my cases ended very satisfactorily. (From 
■Schiissler.) 

MENINGITIS.

Natrum sulph. — Violent head-pains, especially at base of 
"brain and back of neck. Crushing pain, as if base of brain 
were crushed in a vise, or something gnawing there. After 
injuries to the head. 

CLINICAL, CASES. 
Mr. D., from Er., suffered from meningitis, and a prognosis of the at- 
tending allopath was designated as at least doubtful, and nothing was pre- 
scribed. The case was especially severe, since in his family there was a 
history of hereditary brain disease, and his nearest male relatives had died 
of it. At the time I was called the patient had been nearly two days in a 
frightful delirium, that had increased almost to madness. Consciousness 
had disappeared ; temperature over 40 . I ordered Ferrum phos. and Kali 
phos.*'. After a week I found the patient free from fever, still somewhat 
weak, but subjectively fully recovered. To hasten the convalescence I gave 
Calc. phos., and eight days later the patient was able to be out and at his 
calling. (Dr. Cmesse.)

CLINICAL CASES. 

Idiocy. — In January, 1891, a lady came to consult me about the mental 
condition of her youngest boy. Her boy C. S. was then 26 years old, 5 
feet 8 inches tall and although pretty strong physically, appetite good, etc., 
he was a perfect idiot, unable to answer any questions except by yes or no, 
and even these answers were stupid. His appearance and his manner of 
acting was that of a child only a few years old. I remarked that all his 
teeth were decayed, and that one side of his head, the left, was a great deal 
smaller than the right. He was very nervous in his demeanor, unable to 
remain quiet on the chair for five minutes, and when these spells of 
nervousness reached the paroxysm, he generally tore off all his clothing 
and flung it in every direction about the room, until he was completely 
naked. However, he seemed to have some fear or respect for his old mother 
the only one, indeed, able to handle him. He was not addicted to mastur- 
bation, but absolutely nothing seemed to interest him. 

From time to time for several years, this boy had been treated by sev- 
eral physicians of the old school, but without any success. This patient 
was the seventh child of the family ; all the others were healthy, as also 
were the father and mother. I inquired if during the pregnancy of the 
mother with this child she had been subject to any accident or fright. 
She answered no ; on the contrary, she had always had a quiet and happy 
life. 

I prescribed for this patient : Magnesia phos., Calcarea phos., both in the 
3x tr., in 5-grain doses to be taken in alteration every hour during the day, 
the boy usually sleeping very quietly at night; I recommended that the 
patient be brought to me every week ; of course, I did not promise a cure, 
but warned the mother to be patient with the poor boy, for the treatment 
would be a long and tedious one. 

After a month of the above treatment, the mother reported that the bad 
nervous spells of tearing the clothing were stopped; the boy was more 
quiet, following her all over the house, and seeming to take interest in her 
household work. 

Two months after the beginning of the treatment, his intelligence- 



228 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

seemed to develop in some respect ; he helped the mother sweeping the 
rooms and washing the dishes without breaking them, getting interested 
•in many different other things, particularly in looking at images or photos, 
and pointing correctly that such and such were pictures of his brothers and 
sisters, etc. After the fourth mouth of treatment, I advised the mother to 
let him go with his brothers, that were carpenters, and see whether he 
.could make himself useful for them in their work. So he did ; he com- 
menced by helping them in carrying boards and sometimes planing them 
when necessary ; w 7 eek after week he became more and more interested in 
their work. 

Finally, after eight months' treatment, always under Magnesia phos. and 
Calcarea phos., he was able to do eight hours of common carpenter work 
for his brothers, and to make $2 a day, without experiencing any dislike, 
fatigue or laziness. He is still working steady, of course, like a man of 
poor intellect, but he is no more a burden as before, to the great satisfac- 
faction of his poor old mother. 

The improvement of that idiot has been permanent until now. (Dr. E. 
A. de Cailhol, Los Angeles, Cal.) 

Patient, set. 80, suffering from deep hypochondriasis, melancholia, tedi- 
.ousness of life, fear of death, mistrust, downhearted and morose. After 
the failure of the ordinary Homoeopathic remedies, he was entirely restored 
by Kali phos*. 

Another case of religious melancholia, of three weeks' standing, in a 
woman, was entirely cured by Kali phos.* in one week. (Dr. Arnberg, 
Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1881.) Detailed description below. 

Miss M., the daughter of the late Dr. M., has been suffering since her 
eighteenth year from occasional attacks of aberration of the mind. But 
,as years passed on, these attacks of insanity became worse and more fre- 
quent, until it was deemed advisable by her brother to make arrangements 
with the doctor of the lunatic asylum in the district to have her removed 
•there. As a last recourse, a friend called to see if new remedies could be 
of anj' service in such a hopeless case. Having assured him that Kali 
phos. would do her good, they gave it very steadily, four doses daily for 
weeks. This was four years ago. The result was most satisfactory. 
After taking it she never had another attack, and is completely cured ; able 
to superintend home duties, receive callers and make calls, which she had 
not been able to do for years, on account of feeling so nervous and shy 
.during the intervals of the attacks. Several cases of a similar nature have 
been treated with equal success — two of these puerperal mania. (M. D. 
W. From Schiissler.) 

The following is a case of a lady, aet. 44 : "I saw," writes Dr. A., of Arns- 
berg, on the 7th of February, " a lady suffering from mental derangement. 
Religious melancholy was at the root, although before this occurrence she 
had not inclined to religious excitement. She now declared she was lost 
for ever — lamented, cried, wrung her hands and tore her clothes, or pieces 
of paper which were laid about to prevent her tearing her garments. She 
did not know those around her, and was unable to sleep. Her eyes had 
^n unconscious stare, and frequently it required two persons to hold her 



MENSTRUATION. 2 29 

down. Only by holding her nose and by force, a little food or medicine 
could be put down her throat. I prescribed Kali phos., as her condition, 
though one of excitement, was originally one of depression, to which Kali 
phos. is suited. Dr. Schiissler says in his book : 'A functional disturbance 
of the molecules of this salt causes in the brain mental depression, show- 
ing itself in irritability, terror, weeping, nervousness, etc., as well as soft-' 
ening of the brain.' She took Kali phos. with excellent results. A former 
experience gained by this remedy led me to select it. 

"On that occasion it was in the case of an old man, set. 80. He suffered 
from mental derangement, which showed itself in the form of intense hy- 
pochondriasis and melancholia. He was tired of life, but had a fear of 
death. For weeks he had been treated to no purpose with many remedies 
apparently called for, as Nux vom., Aurum, Bromide of Potassium in allo- 
pathic doses. But he was rapidly cured by the continuous use of Kali 
phos. Even after eight hours from the commencement of the treatment, a 
certain feeling of calmness was experienced, and that night he had a quiet 
sleep. I had, therefore, no reason to regret the treatment I selected, as 
the improvement continued steadily, so that on the 25th of February I dis^ 
continued my professional visits. 

" I have seen my previous patient frequently, busily engaged in her home 
with her usual cheerfulness, and she speaks quite calmly of her past ill- 
ness." (From Schiissler. )

yellow-coated tongue. Metrorrhagia. 

Calcarea sulph. — Menses too late, long-lasting, with head- 
ache, twitch ings and great weakness. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Metrorrhagia of six weeks' standing, in the case of a fat and robust woman 
of brown complexion. This person, who was a washerwoman at Grenille, 
and whom I saw only three or four times at my office, attributed her sick- 
ness to her constantly standing in cold water. Silicea arrested the hemor- 
rhage almost immediately, and effected such an improvement in one week 
that I scarcely knew her again the second week. She did not take any 
other medicine. (A. Teste.) 

Miss S., set. 22, brunette, short, plump, round body, large, active brain, 
intellectual, was since puberty troubled every month with dysmenorrhcea, 
"beginning several hours previous, and during the first day of flow, with 
severe pains in the uterus, back and lower limbs, and these so severe that 
"they seemed unbearable and hysteria seemed threatening. In one of these 
attacks I was sent for. Found the patient in bed; the feet had been 
"bathed in hot water and hot cloths applied for hours to the lower abdomen; 
pains no better. I immediately gave her a large dose of Magnes. phos. 6x. 
In less than half an hour the pains lessened ; I repeated the dose ; in a few 
moments the moments the patient was easy the flow began, and went on 
the usual time. Next month I advised patient to begin the day before period 
and take three doses, and on the day period was to come on take a dose 
•every two hours. No pains this month. This process was repeated the 
third month ; no more trouble ; patient is now well, and no return of pain 
for over three years. [Med. Advance, Dec, 1889.) 

Dysmenorrhcea. — At each menstrual period a membrane, varying in 
size from one to two inches in length, was discharged. Her symptoms 
were, after the flow began, severe, sharp, shooting pains low down in the 
abdomen, > by lying curled up in bed with a hot water-bag on the abdo- 
men. When the severe pains were > a dull aching for a day or two fol- 
lowed, and the next or the following day a membrane passed. With this 
-exception was in very good health. After one of her periods I gave her 



232 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Magnes. phos. cm. in water, a dose night and morning, for two days. The 
next menstrual period was nearly free from pain, and the succeeding ones 
were painless, but the usual membrane was passed, Before this she had 
always stayed in bed without any relief. Painless menstruation went on 
for six or eight months, when she got her feet wet just before her menses, 
and received Magnes. phos. cm. It relieved her, and she has had no trouble 
since. (S. A. Kimball.) 

"Married lady, having one child, had every month menorrhagia ; twice 
the flow was so excessive as to cause fears of death. Upon examination 
found the uterus low down and swollen ; the whole vagina filled with in- 
durated uterus ; orifice of os tender, red, stretched open about half an inch;; 
inside filled up ; outside congested. I began treatment with Magnes. phos. 
6x., three to four doses a day. No hemorrhage next month. No pain, and 
in three months the organ was reduced to its normal size, and dismissed 
patient cured. " {Med. Advance, Dec. 1889.) 



MOUTH, DISEASES OF. 

Ferrum phos. — Gums sore, red, hot and inflamed. Redness,, 
dryness or heat of the mucous membrane of the mouth.

ation of the mouth. Great fetor from the mouth. The mouth 
is red and swollen, thick, watery secretions. Gums puffed,, 
white or yellow in color. Gums bleed easily. Mucous patches. 
Syphilitic ulceration of gums. True gangrene of the mouth. 

Kali phos. — Cancrum oris, with mortification of the cheek,, 
with ashy-gray ulcers, fetid breath. Stomatitis, gums bleed 
easily when there exists a red line or seam on the edges ; water- 
canker, gangrenous canker. Hydroa sore crusts and pimples on 
lips. Gums spongy and receding. Saliva profuse, thick and 
salty. Inflammation of the tongue when excessive dryness

children. Pale appearance of the gums, sign of anaemia. 
Upper lip swollen and painful. 

Calcarea fluor. — Gumboil, hard swellings on the jaws or 
gums. Indurations. Cold sores at corners of mouth. 

Natrum phos. — This remedy has few equals for ulceration 
of the buccal mucous membrane. "Canker sores" of the lips 
and cheeks yield to this remedy in the 3X or 6x attenuation 
where Borax, Antim., Baptisia, Kali chlor., etc., have failed to 
cure. {S.J. ofH.) 

Calcarea sulph. — Inside of lips sore, raw sores on lips. 
Gums bleed on brushing teeth. 

CLINICAL CASES 
At a meeting of medical men at Schaff hausen, Professor Dr. Rapp said : 
" In my opinion the greatest merits of Dr. Schiissler's method lie in the 
introduction of Kali phos. and Magnes. phos. In ordinary stomatitis, with 
swelling of the gums, deposit on the teeth and foul breath, Kali phos. has 
given very satisfactory proofs of its value." 

MUCOUS MEMBRANES. 
See also Catarrhal Affections. 
The color and consistency of the secretion must decide the 
choice of the remedy. Secretion albuminous: Calc. phos.; 
causing soreness and chafing: Natrum mur., Natrum phos.; 
clear, transparent: Natrum mur.; fibrinous: Kali mur., 
Magnes. phos. ; golden-colored: Natrum phos. ; greenish: Kali 
sulph.; offensive-smelling: Kali phos. ; mattery: Calc. sulph. > 
Silicea; slimy: Kali sulph.; yellowish, lumpy: Calc. fluor. 

MUMPS. 

Ferrum phos. — Initiatory stage with the febrile symptoms. 

Kali mur. — This remedy alone will cure, unless there is 
fever. 

Natrum mur. — With much saliva or swelling of the testi- 
cles occurring as a metastasis with mumps. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I have treated, during the past year, at least a dozen cases of mumps, and 
I have never had such satisfactory results with other remedies. One case 
had violent fever, even to delirium, great deal of swelling, pain, etc. The 



234 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

fever was entirely reduced within five or six hours, and the swelling and all 
the other symptoms were entirely relieved, within three or four days, by 
the alternate use of Ferruni phos. and Kali mur. Two cases in one family, 
with similar conditions, were in a like manner treated with the same re- 
sults. (S. Powell Burdick, M. D.) 

NEURALGIA. 

Kali mur. — Lancinating, nightly pains from small of back 
to feet, worse from warmth of bed. Must rise and sit in chair 
for relief. 

Ferrum phos. — Congestive or inflammatory, from chill or 
cold, with pain as if a nail were being driven in. Blinding 
pain, one-sided, in the head, temples, or over eye, or in the 
jaw-bone. If this does not suffice, give Calcarea sulph., and 
note the tongue symptoms. Neuralgia accompanied by flushed 
face, burning or diffused heat, feeling of weight and pressure. 
Faceache with febrile symptoms. Tic douloureux. Neuralgia 
along inner orbit and nose. 

Kali phos. — Neuralgic pain in any organ, depression, failing 
•of strength, feeling of inability to rise, or to remain up, yet the 
pain is felt less when standing or walking about. Neuralgia 
with ill humor, sensitiveness to light and noise, improved or 
not even felt during pleasant excitement. This remedy is re- 
quired to tone up the gray nervous substance. Neuralgic pains 
in the nervous substance threatening paralysis, with a feeling 
of lameness or numbness. Pains better with gentle motion, 
worse on rising ; pains felt most when quiet or alone. Neural- 
gic pains and humming in the ears, failure of strength, par- 
oxysms of neuralgic pains with subsequent exhaustion. Neu- 
ralgia of the sciatic nerve (see Sciatica). Faceache. Right- 
sided neuralgias relieved by cold applications. Stitches from 
upper teeth to ear. 

Magnesia phos. — Intercostal neuralgia of a drawing, con- 
strictive kind. Spasms from cold without fever. Neuralgia 
in the head, pains darting and very intense. Neuralgic pains 
in any part of the body, when the phenomena of sensation are 
too acute ; pain excruciating or spasmodic, pains in the ends of 
nerve-fibres. Pains aggravated by mastication or any motion. 



NEURALGIA. 235 

Pains coming on periodically, being very acute, darting or 
shooting along the course of the nerves. Neuralgia from ex- 
posure to a strong north wind. Spasmodic pains and affections 
of almost any kind. Neuralgia every night, well during the 
day. Typical facial neuralgias. A contra-indication for the 
use of the remedy is amelioration by cold. Warm applications 
relieve, and especially dry warmth. This remedy is right-sided. 

Natrum mur. — Neuralgic nerve-pains recurring at certain 
times, with flow of saliva or involuntary tears. Darting, shoot- 
ing along the nerve-fibre with these accompaniments. Or- 
bital neuralgia with lachrymation. Irritation of the fifth pair 
•of nerves, also the facial nerve. Faceache with constipation, 
worse in the morning, from reading, writing and talking, in 
schoolgirls. 

Natrum phos. — Facial neuralgia, shooting, stitching pains, 
soreness of right lower jaw. 

Calcarea phos. — Neuralgic pains deep-seated in the bones. 
Shocks like electric sparks. Neuralgia commencing at night, 
recurring periodically. Pains worse at night and in bad 
weather. Tics. Neuralgia ani, worse after stool, long-lasting. 
Pains with sensation of crawling coldness and numbness. 

Calcarea sulph. — This remedy occupies a ground between 
the very acute pains of Magnesia phos. and the paralyzing 
•ones of Kali phos. (more in aged persons, if there be a want of 
regenerative force for the nervous tissue). 

Silicea. — Pain mostly in teeth. Lumbo-abdominal neuralgia. 
Better from wrapping up warmly. Obstinate neuralgia 
caused by dissipation, hard work and close confinement. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

The following from the pen of Dr. C. C. Huff, of Huron, D. T., from 
vol. i, of the Minn. Medical Monthly, No. 9, illustrates the use of one of 
these remedies in neuralgia : 

"Schiissler describes Magnesia phos. as the earthly constituent of 
muscles and nerves. Dal ton sa3'S the salts of magnesium have been found 
to be in larger quantity than those of lime in the muscles. Grant this 
fact, then, and we have Magnesia phos. acting as a nerve remedy, and any 
■disturbance of the system causing a molecular change in the nutritive ele- 
ments of this salt would produce the characteristic pains of this remedy. 
They are described as being of a shooting character, like lightning, draw- 



236 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

ing and tearing, inclined to move from place to place ; they, moreover, as- 
sume a periodicity of recurrence, not, however, having any regard for regu- 
larity. We likewise find these pains in headache, generally frontal, in» 
faceache, neuralgia of the stomach and bowels, of the ovaries and often in 
the limbs. Stomach-pains frequently radiate from the umbilicus, and are- 
relieved by pressure (resembling in this respect Coloc, Aloes, Caustic. , 
Nux vom., Iris vers, and Sulphur) aud warmth, especially dry heat, best 
applied by means of an inverted hot plate, lined with flannel. In Eng- 
land the farmers use the remedy with prompt results for flatulent colic in 
horses. " The following is my experience with the remedy, and all my re- 
sults have been from the I2x trituration : 

" Case 1. Miss S , set. 24, dark complexion, nervous temperament, clerk. 
She had been under treatment for facial neuralgia for two weeks previous, 
the principal remedy being morphia, without relief. On being called to- 
the case, I found the patient much prostrated, the right side of the face and 
supraorbital region somewhat swollen, pains very severe, of a crampy, 
shooting, darting nature. There was also much tenderness over the- 
affected side. The pains were of an intermittent character, and seemed to 
affect different parts of the head and face on different days. Magnesia 
phos. cured this case in twelve hours. 

" Case 2. Miss B., set. 22, dark complexion, nervous temperament, slight 
build, has neuralgia, from exposure to a strong north wind, and was under 
the so-called 'regular' treatment for three days before I was called, and 
had taken massive doses of Bromide of potash and Chloral hydrate, with no 
relief. I found her in bed, almost frantic with pain, flushed face, eyes in- 
jected, with a high degree of photophobia ; pain was left-sided and involved 
the supramaxillary portion of the trigeminus. In character the pain was- 
lancinating, crampy, darting and shooting, frequently extorting cries. 
Magnesia phos. was given and resulted in a speedy recovery. 

" Case 3. Miss S., set. 20, brunette, tall and slender, nervo-bilious tem- 
perament, occupation typographer. She was taken suddenly with acute 
pain in right side of the face, the pain involving the supra- and infraorbital 
region, paroxysmal, of a darting, tearing character. Magnesia phos. cured 
promptly. 

"The above cases have been taken from my note-book and are illustra- 
tive of the action of this remedy in neuralgia of the fifth nerve and its- 
branches. I have also cured one case of neuralgia of the stomach where 
the characteristic pains were present. I have relieved colic in young chil- 
dren with the same remedy when Chamom., Nux vom. and Coloc. had 
failed." 

Case of prosopalgia of several weeks' standing, relieved by warm cotton 
and aggravated by cold. Magnesia phos. I2x cured in three weeks. — 
Allg. Horn. Zeit., vol. 88, p. 46. 

Dr. H. C. Allen reports a case of right facial neuralgia with sharp, quick, 
spasmodic, lightning-like pains, sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and 
pressure, accompanied by prostration and night-sweats, cured by Magnesia 
phos. 200 after several other remedies had failed to give permanent relief. 

Also, another case cured by the same remedy and potency where the 



NEURALGIA. 237 

pains were intermittent, darting, lightning-like, suddenly appearing and 
disappearing, relieved by heat and pressure ; at the same time an annoying 
•constipation disappeared. 

Prompt curative action of Magnesia phos. by Dr. Goullion : " On April 
13th a patient wrote me that for nine days she had been in bed without 
medical help, suffering from a maddening pain. Through catching cold 
she got a severe trouble in the ear and then a prosopalgia on the left side, 
affecting the lower maxillary bone, also the frontal, and involving the 
whole left side of the head, back to the nape of the neck. She went to an 
apothecary for Byron. , but he advised Bellad., which didn't help. Deep 
within the ear an abscess developed, which broke two days ago, discharg 
ing pus and now water, which is quite irritating, for it has produced an 
eruption wherever it touched. The ear still pains ; the prosopalgia re- 
mains as before. The pain is maddening, and there is high fever with 
sleeplessness ; she doesn't sleep at night and only one or two hours in the 
-day. She perspires freely, which is unusual with her. Yesterday she had 
a severe pain in the right hip, resulting from a bath. I was unable to see the 
patient, as she, at that time, lived at Deipsic, and yet she needed help at 
•once. What should I give her ? Silicea ? The nightly aggravation would 
suit this remedy, but the abscess in the ear was gone, yet the facial pain 
remained. Spigel.f There were indications for it, as I already knew she 
had a tendency to heart trouble. She had formerly had pains in the 
articulations of the hand, in the arm and side, most severe at the heart. 
She described it as if the heart would be twisted out, with a throbbing as if 
something were unwound. Perhaps it was a rheumatism, located in the 
face, but even here Spigel. would be called for. Then there is Arnica, 
which has lately been extolled as a specific. Further, I had some reliance 
•on Stannum, which had cured for me many neuralgias that even the great 
nerve remedy, Quinine, had left untouched. The embarras de richesse still 
increased. Chamom. ought to be given for the unbearable pain. Again 
there was Me rcur. on account of the tendency to sweating, and Arsenic. 
on account of sleeplessness. 

"Yet in preference to all these remedies I selected Schiissler's Magnesia 
phos., moistened a powder of milk sugar with the 6th dilution and directed 
it to be dissolved in half a wine-glassful of water, a teaspoouful to be taken 
every three hours. On April 17th, I had the satisfaction of reading the 
following lines : ' My hearty thanks for your kind and quick assistance. I 
had immediate relief, and I am happy and thankful. The horrible pain is 
gone from my face ; the scalp is still sensitive, and one place which is cer- 
tainly connected with the ear still pains. The ear itself pains somewhat 
and runs yet.' " — Pop. Zeit.f. Horn., XVII, 13 and 14. 

Right facial neuralgia, jerking, cutting pain, teeth sensitive ; worse 
after going to bed. Merc, gave no relief. Magnesia phos. in water gave 
prompt relief, and has acted equally well twice since. This remedy given 
in another case of left-sided facial neuralgia did no good. It produced, 
however, profuse sweat, with dread of uncovering. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, 
M. D. From Hg.) 

Chas. M., aet. 47. Has for a week or two a severe tearing, gnawing pain 



238 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

in region of right scapula, extending into the right upper arm, and down the 
forearm into the thumb, with numbness, particularly of the thumb, but 
without loss of motion or use of arm. The pain comes in paroxysms, and is 
only relieved by hard rubbing and pounding of the flesh, troublesome as 
well daytimes as nights. Has taken several remedies, principally Rhus 
tox., and had electricity each day for a week or more, without benefit. 
After taking Calcareaphos. 6 for a few days, the pain and numbness were 
much relieved, and being continued, the trouble was cured in about three 
or four weeks. Any return of it would be at once relieved by this remedy. 

A similar case in a young lady, set. 20, was cured by the same remedy, 
though she had almost complete paralysis of the hand. (C. T. M.) 

Neuralgia. Pain supra- and infraorbital, extending to all the front- 
teeth of right side, intermittent, stabbing, nipping, lightning-like and ex- 
tremely sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and pressure ; coming and go- 
ing suddenly and attended by prostration and night-sweats. Magnesia 
phos.' m promptly gave relief. — Med. Advance, Dec. 1889. 

A lady of healthy appearance suffered since several weeks with faceache, 
radiating over one-half of the face, lasting five or six hours. Warm wad- 
ding relieves. Worse when body gets cold. Magnesia phos. 12 every three 
hours, removed the pain in three days. 

Lady, aet. 30, suffered since several weeks with pains in face and teeth, 
right side, changing locality. Appears every two or three hours and rushes^ 
about like lightning. Magnes. phos. 12 , a dose every three hours, relieved 
in two days. 

Lady, aet. 42, with a hectic appearance, catameuia scanty, often omit- 
ting. Since two years, boring over the right eye, after a few minutes 
spreading over the whole right side to the lower jaw, driving out of bed. 
Stool torpid, little appetite. Magnesia phos. overcame all complaints in. 
four days. This remedy regulated the catamenia and all subsequent at- 
tacks. (A. Plate, M. D.) 

Kali phos} 2 cured a case of neuralgia in the right side of the face, pro- 
ceeding from hollow teeth, relieved by cold applications. Magnesia phos. 
given at first did not relieve, probably because there was no relief from 
warmth. Unlike Phosphor., or Kali, but similar to Pulsat. (W. P. Wes- 
selhceft, M. D. ) 

Miss Margaret S. suffered from, neuralgia, true nerve-fibre pain, darting 
through her head along the nerves. She had suffered intermittently for 
three days. Two doses of Magnesia phos. cured her completely. (M. D. 
W. From Schiissler.) 

A severe case of neuralgia in the head. The lady had come sixty miles, 
to attend a musical entertainment, and was compelled to go to bed on ac- 
count of the pain. After suffering for several hours, I was called, and re- 
lieved her completely in an hour with Magnesia phos. -6x, a dose every ten 
minutes. (E. H. H.) 

Ada D., a healthy, robust child, aet. 8. Her only symptom was a severe 
pain at the lower part of the sacrum, coming on after stool and lasting the 
entire day, until she goes to bed, when it ceases. The pain is so severe as 
to prevent her walking or even standing. Calcarea phos. gave immediate 
relief. (R. T. Cooper, M. D.)

which left her with paralyzed hands and feet. I gave her six powders of 
Calcarea phos., and four weeks later she wrote me that she could go around 
the room by taking hold of the furniture. She received six more powders, 
which completed her recovery. (Monatsblatter.) 

PHTHISIS PULMONUM. 

Calcarea phos. — Incipient phthisis in anaemic patients, pro- 
fuse sweat, especially about neck and head. To lessen the 
emaciation, give also cream, koumiss, small doses of cod-liver

•with rattling in chest and expectoration of bloody sputa, worse 
in the evening after lying down, congestion to head with hec- 
tic flush, chronic coryza with total loss of taste and smell. 
Patient always worse near the seashore. Accumulation of

posits on skin, showing themselves as lumpy tumors. Ema- 
ciation, profuse night-sweats. Terribly offensive foot-sweat. 
•Great constipation ; the rectum lacks power to expel stools, and 
lience it recedes after partial evacuation. Patient is always 
-cold, especially feet. Much prostration and loose, rattling 
cough, with copious expectoration of thick, yellow-greenish 
pus. This remedy embraces most of the symptoms that be- 
long to the phthisical dyscrasia, consequently it is a remedy 
•of value for the constitutional condition in congenital or he- 
reditary cases. Dr. Holcombe has used the 6oooth potency 
with wonderful curative power in the last stages of phthisis. 

Ferrum phos. — Breathing short, oppressed and hurried, ac-

tickling cough from laryngeal and tracheal irritation, ac- 
companied by slight or even severe bronchial or laryngeal

CLINICAL CASES. 

Mr. T.,aet. 30, of a sanguine, bilious temperament, rather dark complexion, 
five feet ten inches high, weight in health 166 lbs., family comsumptive, 
two sisters and a brother having already died, leaving a brother still enjoy- 
ing tolerable health. Had several hgemoptyses in the summer while in 
the hay field, and had constantly declined from that time. Saw him the 
April following; he having passed through the hands of several physi- 
cians, and at that time was so low that his physician said he could not

live six weeks, and such was my opinion on seeing him. There was at 
large cavity in the right lung at the second intercostal space at about three 
inches to the right of the sternum; there were heavy rales in the left bron- 
chi, with decided indications of breaking down of the parenchymatous 
structure, and cavernous lesions there, also the sputa was very heavy and 
largely purulent ; there was the odor of the cadaver already present, musty 
and offensive enough from septicaemic influences; he had no appetite and 
sat up hardly longer than to have his bed made; skin had a cold, clammy 
feel, and he was drenched with night sweats. Case was marked with ab- 
sence of vital warmth; indeed, so forbidding was the case that I refused his- 
brother when he asked me to visit him again in a week; he lived forty miles 
away, He was given a dose of Silicea' 100 , every other night with Sac. lac, 
and ordered to report by mail in a week. He had been very much har^ 
rassed with his night-sweats and cough, which was worse from motion. The 
first mail brought me the intelligence that the medicine acted like a charm 
and wanted more of the same kind; I sent so that he got a dose of Silicea 
twice a week, and so treated him till June, when he paid me a visit. Left 
lung appeared to be cleared up. night-sweats no longer troubled him, appe- 
tite was good, he was steadily gaining in flesh and strength. Nevertheless, 
in the right lung there yet remained traces of the vomica, which now was 
much smaller and secreting only a small amount of muco-purulent matter; 
he was furnished additional medicine and went home, and by the middle of 
JuW was on his mowing machine. Patient was alive four years after and 
enjoying fine health, and I do not kuow but he is to-day; no man could be 
more surprised than myself at these results. Were we all deceived? Three 
good physicians of the leading school of medicine agreed about the diag- 
nosis, and I don't think there is left a possible ground for doubt. The case 
is exceptional, we agree; but is it not full of suggestions? (G. N. B., in 
Brigham' s Phthisis.) 

The same excellent work, on page 193, contains the record of another 
case of phthisis, where Kali mur. was the remedy. 

Case of a lady who had been bedridden for nine months. Mrs. McH. was- 
given up by foui doctors as beyond medical treatment. The professor's- 
diagnosis ran thus: Both lungs diseased, especially the right lung. The 
heart is greatly dilated, especially the right cavity. The lung disease pro- 
duced by neglected cold. When her case was brought under treatment by 
biochemic measures, four years ago, she w x as also suffering from dropsy. 
At the stage she came under the new treatment, it took sometimes an hour 
and more before she could find the right position to rest in. She would 
often rather spend the night on the sofa than venture to go through the 
fatigue of going to bed. Her cough and expectoration were very bad, breath 
extremely short and palpitation constant. She did not know what it was to 
have a good night, and rarely slept. By patiently adhering to Dr. Schiiss- 
ler's remedies she has recovered greatly, her lungs are wonderfully healed 
up, and her dilatation of heart almost removed. She now lives in com- 
paratively fair health, so that she was able to nurse her husband during a 
severe illness, where night watching was necessary. To reassure all con- 
cerned, a diagnosis was made. Dr. H., a specialist, concurred in the state- 



PLEURISY. — PNEUMONIA. 243 

nient that her right lung, of which a large portion is gone, is now fairly- 
healed np, and dilatation of heart has almost entirely disappeared. (From 
Schiissler.) 

PLEURISY. 

Ferrum phos. — For the fever, pain, stitch in the side, catch 
in the breath and short cough. Breathing short, oppressed and 
hurried. 

Kali mur. — The second remedy, when there is plastic exu- 
dation. It will complete the cure. 

Natrum mur. — When serous exudation has taken place dur- 
ing and after its course. 

Calcarea sulph. — Empyema, pus forming in the cavity of 
the pleurae or in the lungs. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Boy, set. 5, with sight-sided pleuritic stitch, worse when coughing and on 
deep inspiration. Rheumatic pains in right shoulder joint. General heat 
of the body, very little thirst. Bryon. did no good. Ferrum phos. 12 , every 
two hours, relieved entirely on the second day. I noticed an unnatural ex- 
citement about the child the day after having taken Ferr. phos. He desired 
to get out of bed and wished to run around, but was too weak and fell over, 
very talkative and hilarious. 

A similar excitement I noticed in a lad, set. 7, to whom I had given Kali 
mur. during a gastric fever with great benefit. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, M.D. 
From Hg.) 

Miss G. R., set. 20. Was called about midnight to see this young lady, 
who was said to be suffering from a pain in her side. I found her to be suf- 
fering from the symptoms common to an acute attack of pleurisy, high 
fever and severe pain in the left side of the chest. Gave her Bryon. 3 in 
water. Called next morning, found the fever somewhat less, but pain not 
relieved; continued the Bryon. 3 Called at four p. m. ; about the same, pain 
still severe, gave Ferrum phos. in solution; called at nine p. m.; the fever 
had abated, and the pain was much less. Called the next morning; no fever 
and pain nearly gone. She continued to improve, and after a few days was 
up and about as usual. (C. T. M.) 

PNEUMONIA. 

Ferrum phos. — Inflammation of the lungs; it is the first and 
chief remedy. High fever, breathing short, oppressed and hur- 
ried. It should be given in the first stage until free perspira- 
tion is established and health is restored. Pneumonia, conges- 
tive stage. Expectoration is clear blood. Secondary congestion 



244 TH E TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

following pneumonia. The well lung suddenly becomes con- 
gested. Crepitant rales. Sputa rust-colored. 

Kali mur. — Fibrinous exudation into the lung substance. 
The tongue is generally white-coated. The mucus is white and 
viscid. 

Natrum mur. — Inflammation of the lungs, if there be much 
loose, rattling phlegm, clear, serous and frothy in character 
and coughed up with difficulty, worse in the morning. Cough 
with beating headache, involuntary urination and lachryina- 
tion. 

Kali sulph. — Inflammation of the lungs w T ith wheezing, if 
yellow, loose, rattling phlegm be coughed up, or watery mucus. 
Rattling COUgfh, especially in children. Suffocative feeling, desire 
for cool air. 

Silicea. — Chronic, neglected pneumonia, passing over into 
suppuration ; dyspnoea when lying on back. Deep-seated pain 
in lung. Sputa profuse, greasy, fetid. 

CLINICAL, CASES 

Case of pneumonia of left upper lobe, with well-marked crepitation and 
profuse expectoration of frothy, pink mucus, yellow, watery diarrhoea, 
green vomiting. Laches., Lycop. and Phosphor, did nothing. Ferrum 
phos., every two hours, produced immediate improvement, although we 
considered her moribund (she had tuberculosis); the diarrhoea and vomit- 
ing were unaffected. (W. C Goodno, M. D. From Hg. ) 

Dr. A. Iv. Fisher quickly relieved a child of lobular pneumonia, with 
high temperature, with Ferrum phos. Kali sulph., given on account of 
thick, yellowish expectoration, speedily cured the case. — Horn. Journal of 
Obstelrics. 

Archibald Herbert, suffering from chronic bronchitis, had an attack of 
pneumonia. An iron moulder by trade, he was exposed to great heat; he 
had lain down on a form in a state of perspiration, took a severe chill, and 
inflammation in the right lung was the result. His case was a bad one, 
complicated by bronchial affection, fever high, cough distressing, a pain 
deep-seated in the right side, expectoration tenacious, rusty-colored. Fer- 
rum phos., in alternation with Kali mur., a dose every half hour, was taken 
for twenty-four honrs, then every hour. For his prostration and sleepless- 
ness a few doses of Kali phos. were taken now and then. The improve- 
ment every way was ver}" marked in two days. As the color of the sputa 
changed to yellow, he took Kali sulph. instead of Kali mur.; and as this 
condition was remedied, Natrum mur. and Calcarea phos. completed the 
cure in a little more than ten days. He returned to work, free from inflam- 
mation and bronchitis. (From Schussler.) 



PUERPERAL FEVER. — RHEUMATISM. 245 

A case presented itself with the following conditions: Extensive extrava- 
sation, with solidification, great pain, hard and exhaustive cough, with 
characteristic expectoration, little or no sleep. After being treated for 
about ten days with the ordinary remedies, Aeon., Bryon. y Phosphor., etc., 
without improvement, and as the case was assuming graver proportions 
than I have had for years, I placed him upon Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. 
in alternation. In twenty-four hours a marked and amazing improvement 
resulted, which continued to the termination of the disease with rapid con- 
valescence. The case was a grave one, for the reason that he had been laid 
up three months with a fractured arm, and was in a very reduced condition 
when the pneumonia appeared. (S. Powell Burdick, M. D. ) 

PUERPERAL FEVER. 

Kali mur. — This remedy alone may suffice for this disease, 
or, in alternation with Ferrum phos., for the exudation. 

Kali phos. — Puerperal mania or fever, when illusions, 
absurb notions, or violent madness set in. Specific remedy. 

Natrum mur. — A useful intercurrent remedy in puerperal 
convulsions. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of puerperal fever. Chill, followed by fever. Suppression of the 
lochia, milk and urine. Hilarious delirium, profuse critical diaphoresis 
without thirst or much coated tongue, bowels confined and extensive tym- 
panites over abdominal parietes. Ferrum phos. 6 hourly a dose. In ten 
hours all ursemiform symptoms had subsided ; patient cheerful and com- 
fortable. Lochia and milk secretion returned, and urine had been voided 
freely. A good recovery followed. (F. A. Rock with, M. D., American 
Journal Homoeopathic Materia Medica, 1875.) 

RHEUMATISM. 

See also Arthritis. 

Ferrum phos. — If this remedy be taken steadily from the 
onset, it is often the only one required in rheumatic fever. 
Acute articular rheumatism, which is very painful, is an inflam- 
matory febrile disease in its first stage. Acute rheumatism 
when any movement sets up the pain or tends to increase it. 
Articular rheumatism, especially of the shoulder ; pains extend 
to upper part of chest, attacks one joint after another. The 
first remedy is all acute rheumatic troubles, muscular, acute or 
subacute. Worse on motion ; better by warmth. Soreness in 



246 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

every part of the body, especially the joints, worse on motion. 
Lumbago, stiff back, etc. Stiff* neck from cold. "Pains, 
especially severe at night, preventing sleep. Marked stiffness 
on first moving after rest." (Arndt.) Aggravation by motion 
or idea of motion. Hands swollen and painful. 

Kali mur. — Second stage of rheumatic fever, when exuda- 
tion takes place around the joints. This remedy removes 
swelling by restoring the non-functional cells of the excretory 
and absorbing structures to normal action. Rheumatic, gouty 
pains if movement makes them worse and if there be a white 
or gray-furred tongue. Swelling of the parts. Pains which 
are only felt during motion or increased by it, if Ferrum phos. 
does not remove them altogether. Chronic rheumatism with 
swelling, or when all movements cause pain. Gray or white- 
coated tongue, or white discharges. 

Kali phos. — Acute and chronic rheumatism with pains dis- 
appearing on moving about, severe in the morning after rest, 
and on first getting up from a sitting position. Very painful 
rheumatism, the parts feel stiff on first attempting to rise up; 
improves slowly, but is increased by all exertion or fatigue. 
Stiffness, paralytic tendency. Laming pains, better on gentle 
exercise. 

Natrum phos. — In a recent note to Dr. Goullon, Schussler 
calls attention Natrum phos. as a remedy for inflammatory 
rheumatism, having successfully used it in several cases with 
rapid curative results. While Ferrum phos. corresponds to 
simple, uncomplicated cases, there can be no doubt that Natrum 
phos. corresponds more nearly to such cases as are characterized 
by yellow-coated tongue, acid symptoms, or where there is a 
scrofulous basis. Rheumatic pains in the joints, with profuse 
sour-smelling sweat. Acute gout, chronic gout, chronic artic- 
ular rheumatism. Natrum phos. acts upon the uric acid of 
the cells and renders it harmless. "Great stiffness and crack- 
ing of joints. Aggravated towards evening. (J. W. Ward, 
M. D.) 

Kali sulph. — Rheumatic fever when the articular pains are 
shifting, wandering or flitting. Rheumatic headaches. Pains 



RHEUMATISM. 247 

in the joints, chronic or acute, that change about. Acute 
articular rheumatism of a shifting nature, settling in one part 
and then in another. Chronic rheumatism of the joints, pains 
worse in the evening: and in warm air, better in cool air. Pains 
in the back, nape or limbs. "Kali sulph. I have repeatedly 
tested in wandering rheumatism, and have had very favorable 
results." (Dr. Schlegelman.) Rheumatic or neuralgic cases, 
patients complain of soreness from three a. m. until they get up. 

Magnesia phos. — Acute rheumatism of the joints, for the 
violent pains, as an intercurrent remedy. Excruciating, spas- 
modic pains during rheumatic fever. 

Natrum mur. — After the second remedy (Kali mur.), if the 
symptoms correspond. Symptoms of tongue, etc. Chronic 
rheumatism of the joints ; joints crack. 

Natrum sulph. — Rheumatic pains, pains and stiffness in 
nape and back, pain in joints, especially of toes and fingers and 
wrists, pain in hip joints aggravated when rising from a seat or 
moving in bed. (Perkins.) 

Calcarea phos. — Rheumatism, which is worse at night, ag- 
gravated by heat or cold, worse in bad weather (also Ferrum 
6Aos.), worse from change of weather. Rheumatism of the joints 
with cold or numb feeling, creeping feeling in parts affected. 
Sensation of ants crawling on the affected parts. Numbness, 
lameness. Every cold brings on rheumatic pains in the joints. 
Pains in sutures. Stiffness of neck from exposure to dampness ; 
aching and soreness in limbs. Pains in sacro-iliac synchon- 
droses, worse with every change of weather. 

CLINICAL CASES 

Dr. Feichttnau, of Also Lendra, in Hungary, reports fifteen cases of acute 
articular rheumatism quickly cured by Ferrum phos. — Allg. Horn. Zeit. 

Dr. Schlegelman reports the following cases : L. , of Regensburg, a strong> 
Tiealthy man, set. 26, had taken cold during a state of perspiration and con- 
tracted acute rheumatism of the joints (rheumatic fever). At first the right 
shoulder was attacked, the patient had violent pains and high fever. Bryo?i., 
which seemed decidedly indicated here, had no other effect except that the 
pain on the next morning had changed its seat, and had appeared in the left 
knee. In this way he continued for several days, under the use of various 
medicines. Either the one or the other of several joints was affected. The 
most distressing pains continued day and night, and evidently the patient 



248 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

was greatly reduced. At last I decided to test Schiissler's medicine. I gave 
Kali sulph. The result was very favorable. The wandering pains ceased 
changing their location, and the pain confined itself to the right shoulder 
again, but was far less violent than before. Under the continued use of this- 
medicine, the fever and pains gradually disappeared. Sleep and appetite 
returned, and no other joints were implicated. Eight days after giving the 
first dose of Kali sulph. the patient was dismissed as convalescent. No> 
relapse occurred. (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. Schlegelman writes, January, 1876: "I was attacked with rheumatism 
the latter part of November, traveling by rail, sitting close to the window 
of a draughty carriage. My whole right side was affected going, and, on 
returning, the pains were very severe; especially worse on every movement 
I made. Bryon. eased me temporarily. I only reached home at midnight,, 
and had a very bad night. Bryon. was of little use now. I applied the 
electric current next morning repeatedly, but it was of no avail. I then 
took a pinch of the Ferrum phos., and, as if by magic, the pains disap- 
peared and did not return." (From Schiissler. ) 

In the year 1875, Dr. Schlegelman reported from Regensburg: " D. A.,, 
aet. 20, a delicate lady, who suffered in her childhood a good deal from 
scrofula, was attacked last winter by a severe pain in the back, in conse- 
quence of catching cold. The third to the fifth ribs were very sensitive to- 
pressure. Violent trembling of the right foot, and at the same time of the 
right arm, set in the moment she attempted to move the arm, or extend 
the hand, and thus made all work impossible. The patient was all the 
more depressed about this, as in her vocation she had a good deal of writ- 
ing to do. I gave many remedies, Fulsat., Rhus tox., Bellad., Nux vom. y 
Platina, etc., all without effect. I sent the young lady into the country ; 
her condition remained the same. New remedies had no better results. 
At last I thought I had found her remedy in Zinc, met., as I had heard 
nothing for her for four weeks. How astonished I was to find my patient, 
whom I thought cured, entering my consulting room on the 30th of Sep- 
tember, trembling worse than ever. On my inquiry why she had not called 
sooner, she told me somewhat timidly she had gone to Mariabrunn to see 
a herbalist, and used the cure during the time. The result, as I could 
plainly see, had not been successful. Consequently she placed herself 
under my treatment again. I told her I was willing to treat her, and 
opened Schiissler's Therapy. I chose Magnesia phos., and had no reason 
to regret my choice, for after the first few doses (three times a day, ten 
grains) a decided improvement was noticed, of which I heard on the nth of 
October, when I saw her again. At this date not even a trace of the trem- 
bling could be observed. She had written repeatedly after this, and even 
then had experienced no trembling whatever. The cure was complete, as 
up to date she had been doing all kinds of needlework and a great deal of 
writing, without any recurrence of the affection." (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. Brisken was called to a case on the eighth day after seizure. All the 
joints were swollen, and the patient had not been able to stay in bed a sin- 
gle night. In the morning he received Kali mur. with such good results 
that during the next night he was able to stay in bed, and in twelve days 
was completely cured. (From Schiissler.) 



RHEUMATISM. 249- 

A gentleman, net. 70, had acute rheumatism in the shoulder and elbow- 
joints. He had been cupped, which made it worse. His joints were wrap- 
ped in waldwolle (turpentine wool), with no effect. He had not been in. 
bed the last two nights, as on lying down the pains were worse. On the 
third day he came under Dr. Brisken's treatment. After giving him Fer- 
ritin phos., the fever ceased in a few days, after which Kali mur. was given. 
In a short time complete recovery resulted. (From Schiissler.) 

Dr. Briskeu mentions three cases of rheumatic fever. One case was that 
of a bookbinder, middle-aged, whom Dr. Brisk en had treated three years 
previously for this malady. On that occasion his recovery took from eight 
to ten weeks. The patient was again attacked in the joints of the hands 
and knees, when he received Ferrum phos. every hour; and as the fever 
had abated, Kali mur. was given the same way. On the fifth day he was 
able to return to his work. (From Schiissler 

Edward B., set. T2, had been complaining a few days, when pains began 
in all the principal joints, but mostly in wrists and elbows, attended with 
redness and swelling, with some fever ; there was most pain on moving, 
and he had to sit quiet to be in any comfort. Gave him Ferrum phos}' 
dissolved in one glass and Kali mur* dissolved in another, to be taken 
alternately every two hours while fever lasted, then continue Kali mur. 
alone. These remedies soon relieved him, and he was out in a few days. 
A second attack the next year was cured by the same remedies in a short 
time. (C T. M.) 

Robert D. , aet. 34. This patient lives on the bank of the lake and goes 
frequently into the water, and often gets wet while fishing and shooting. 
Has had pains about him for a year or two, at times. They are sometimes 
in one joint and then in another, seem to shift about, and are becoming 
very troublesome, hindering him from work, and he desires a remedy if" 
possible. I gave him Kali sulph.*, several powders, one to be dissolved in 
water, a dose four times each day. This remedy, after a few weeks, com- 
pletely cured his trouble, and he has not complained now since a year or 
more. (C. T. M.) 

May, 1879. J- D > a nian set. 69, had been complaining for several weeks 
of pains in the limbs, which settled in the right leg, from the hip down to 
to the ankle, but were worse at the joints, being of a shifting nature — 
intermittent — sometimes shooting and darting like lighting, causing the 
patient to change his position frequently. Warmth gives him relief. He 
is unable to leave his bed ; is almost in despair, thinking he is dying. 
Magnes. phos.) a dose every three hours. The improvement on taking this. 
remedy was marked and rapid, but whenever he stopped with the medicine 
he felt worse again. By continuing steadily with Magnes. phos. a complete 
cure was effected. (From Schiissler.) 

I was called to attend a girl, aet. 12 ; she had had, some time ago, an 
attack of rheumatic fever. I found the little patient, who had been taken 
ill the previous day, in bed. The joints of both knees were swollen, some- 
what red, and very painful. The joints of the vertebrae at the nape of the 
neck were implicated, and every movement out of the constrained position 
of the neck and back was very painful. Her friends expected that salicylic 



250 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

acid would be applied, which they had already seen used, but I gave 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. alternately every three hours. Next day, to 
the astonishment of the friends, the fever and pains were less, and knees 
were quite free from pain. Now I ordered Kali mur. to be given alone for 
the swelling, and the next morning on my return I found all the symptoms 
worse. I repeated the Ferrum phos. again, and there was a rapid improve- 
ment. But in the same degree as the pains w T ere leaving and the swelling 
decreasing, spasmodic pains in the abdomen set in. There was also an 
occasional vomiting of bilious matter. As soon as these latter symptoms 
came on, I ordered the little patient some Magnes. phos. dissolved in water, 
in frequent sips, which removed all these symptoms in twenty-four hours. 
Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. were continued in less frequent doses. Six 
days after my first visit the patient was able to leave the bed, and was quite 
well. (Dr. Schlegel.) 

July 29th, 1879. From the reports of a Medical Congress at Dortmund, 
by Dr. Stens, Jr.: "I should like to report on a case of rheumatism which 
was cured by Ferrum phos. in a very short time, after having tried several 
of the most reputed remedies which seemed indicated. A lady, set. 42 
(catamenia normal, though scanty), had been treated by me for the last few 
years. She suffered from digestive derangement, and sometimes from vio- 
lent attacks of megrim. This lady awoke one morning with a violent pain 
in the right upper arm and region of right shoulder, being of a tearing 
nature. She had walked the previous evening through a damp meadow, 
getting her feet wet. The pains were worse if she moved her arm quickly, 
but easier on moving it very gently. She was, therefore, keeping it con- 
stantly in motion. The parts affected were painful on being touched. Sev- 
eral uights perspiration had been excessive, and afterward made its appear- 
ance every morning between two and three o'clock, when the pains were 
always worse. The patient also complained of a pain in the right hand 
and powerlessness, which prevented her from lifting anything heavy. She 
often felt rather exhausted, and had to lie down. I gave her no less than 
five remedies which seemed to suggest themselves, but without success. 
The lady's anaemic condition, and partly Dr. Schiissler's recommendation, 
made me think of iron. I prescribed his own preparation of Ferrum phos., 
as much as would cover a sixpence, to be taken night and morning. The 
result was that, after taking the medicine for six days, the pains, with their 
accompanying symptoms, did not return, even though soon after this wet 
weather set in, when she had generally felt her pains to be much worse." 
(From Schiissler. ) 

Miss A. W., set. 10^, was taken with a chill on January 1st, 1884. The 
next day I found her with very high fever, pulse 120 ; severe pains in back 
and limbs ; nausea and vomiting; joints, small and large, greatly inflamed; 
hands, feet and limbs cedematous. Could not bear to be touched or moved. 
Great sensitiveness in every part of the body and limbs. Pains became 
verv much worse at night, increasing to such an extent that her screams 
could be heard by the neighbors on each side of the house. Constant cry 
for cold water ; vomiting of food and drink almost as soon as swallowed. 
Tongue coated 3'ellow, with horrible bitter metallic taste. Great prostra-

tion. Hereditary, gouty-rheumatic and dropsical diathesis. Has had for 
■some time back a ravenous appetite, especially for sweet things, which was 
freely indulged. Treatment: After wasting much of the first week with 
various remedies with no improvement, I determined to adhere to the sys- 
tem of Schiissler. For the fever, vomiting of food and drink, and the in- 
flammation, I gave Ferrum phos. 6x. Pains aggravated at night, Calcarea 
phos. 6x ; for rheumatic gout, oedema, dropsy, yellow coated tongue with 
bitter taste, Natrum sulph. 3X, about ten grains in half a goblet of water, a 
teaspoonful every other hour in alternation with the first two, which were 
given dry and at the same time. From the commencement of this treat- 
ment, decided improvement began, and by the fourteenth day of her sick- 
ness she was able to sit up. Previous to her sickness she had become so 
stout that she could not stoop to button her shoes, and her cloak could 
scarcely be buttoned around her. Indeed, it was so uncomfortable but- 
toned that she would go with it open almost all the time. After her 
recovery she was able to stoop, and her cloak could be lapped several 
inches. — E. H. Holbrook, M.D., in Eclectic Medical Journal 

Dr. Sulzer, of Berlin, reports a case of fever and violent pain in the right 
shoulder joint, high temperature, full and rapid pulse, thirst and loss of 
appetite. Shoulder red, swollen and sensitive to pressure. The pressure 
■of the pillow was unbearable. Ferrum phos. 6x cured. — Allg. Horn. Zeit. 

RICKETS. 

Calcarea phos. — In delicate children, caused by soft spongi- 
ness of the bone, from want of phosphate of lime molecules. 
Skull soft and thin, with crackling noise when pressed upon,

of broken bones, systematic dyscrasias. Pott's disease, shrunken 
•children, hard lumps on the cranium, diarrhoea during denti- 
tion with much flatus, cold tremors, child cannot hold head 
upright. Its principal indications are the fontanelles which 
remain wide open, the diarrhoea and the emaciation of the 
child. 

Kali phos. — Atrophy of the bones, with putrid-smelling dis- 
charges from the bowels. Indigestion with nervous depression. 

Natrum mur. — Particularly useful when the thighs are nota- 
bly emaciated and the disease is in its early stages, with slight 
pliability of the bones. (Gilchrist.)

exhaustion, but painless ; inflammation, swelling and suppura- 
tion of glands and bones, ulceration and necrosis, cellular in- 
flammations, boils. Abscess, etc., with tardy recovery and. 
subsequent induration. 

Natrum phos. — This remedy is highly recommended for 
poorly nourished children who are threatened with rachitis- 
and continually pass clay-colored stools. Dose to grains, four 
times a day. Rachitis with excessive acidity. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. Kniippel, of Madgeburg, reports {Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1882, p. 4) cases- 
in which children had formerly been born rachitic, but through the mater- 
nal ingestion of Calcarea phos 3 during last months of pregnancy all subse- 
quent children were born perfectly healthy. 

Child, aet. 2 years, with right thigh swollen to three times its natural size 
from hip-joint to knee, stony hard, having existed for six weeks; yielded 
promptly to Calc.fluor. In this case even touching the limb was followed. 
by the greatest distress, even prolonged crying. (J. W. Ward, M. D.) 

SCARLATINA. 

Ferrum phos. — Simple cases of scarlet fever. (In alterna- 
tion with Kali viur.) 

Kali mur. — Often suffices in milk cases with Ferrum phos. y 
brings rash out and prevents sequalse. Lymphatic enlarge- 
ments, etc. 

Kali sulph. — Desquamation, skin peels off, it assists desqua- 
mation and formation of the new skin, also for the develop- 
ment of the rash. Discharges of foul, offensive, ichorous pus- 
from ears, fetid discharges from all mucous surfaces. 

Kali phos. — Post-scarlatinal dropsy.

purate, boils, abscesses, subsequent induration of glands from, 
tardy reconvalescence. 



SCIATICA. 253 

Natrum sulph. — Rash rough and pimply, rising of mucus 
in the throat. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

A. S-, the child of a post official visiting here, was taken ill with an attack 
.of very slight scarlatina. The rash had disappeared after scarcely twenty- 
four hours. The throat symptoms, at first threatening to be severe, disap- 
peared in three or four days. On the seventh day almost complete retention 
of urine set in, as in twenty-four hours only a very small quantity was passed, 
although the child drank a good deal. The urine contained some 
albumen, the feet were swollen, the abdomen very much distended. As the 
child was all this time in high fever, and at night delirious, I advised the 
parents on my visit on the morning of the eighth day to consult a second 
physician. Dr. Gerster, who was called in to consult with me, agreed com- 
pletely with my diagnosis. When I told him that I had not had any results 
from any of the medicines, such as Bellad., Canthar. and Arsenic, we 
agreed to give Kali mur. y every two hours a small powder. In the evening 
"the little one was already better. She had passed a tolerable quantity of 
urine free from albumen, the pulse steadier, the skin moist. The follow- 
ing night the little girl slept quietly for several hours. In the morning 
almost free from fever, and could be considered convalescent. We con- 
tinued the use of Kali mur., and a few days after she was able to return 
home perfectly well. (From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. Holbrook reports a case of scarlatina (Southern Journal of Homoeo- 
pathy) treated with Kali mur. 200 alone, making a good recover}'-, and, given 
to the rest of the children in the home, prevented their having it, though 
with the sick one nearly constantly. 

"A few days ago," writes the pastor in W — , ''two of my children had 
the scarlatina, one of them being complicated with diphtheria. The allo- 
pathic physician pronounced the latter case hopeless. That which most 
•frightened me was the complete insomnia day and night. The convulsions 
and typhoid symptoms did not yield to an}- remedy. I emplo}'ed several 
remedies without result. At last, in looking over Schussler's work, I found 
that Natrum mur. was the remedy indicated. I at once made use of it, 
"but with little confidence. However, the result was striking ; after the first 
dose the child had a peaceful sleep, aud slept quietly all night. I con- 
tinued the remedy, and my child, declared hopeless, was cured in a few 
-days." {Journal Pop. de Horn.) 

Several cases of scarlatina this winter did not do well under the usual 
remedies but were speedily relieved and cured by Natrum sulph. The rash 
instead of being smooth was rough and pimply, and in some cases rising of 
■mucus in the throat. (E. H. H.)

CLINICAL, CASES. 

Mr. B. has been suffering for seven months with sciatica in left leg; the 
pain was very severe and fast undermining his health; he had been treated 
by a very skillful physician all this time, and almost every known remedy 
was tried, until the physician himself gave up the case and said that he 
could do nothing more. I was called, found patient suffering with a dull, 
tensive pain, extending the whole length of the sciatic nerve of the left leg 
worse on slightest motion; prepared a small powder of Kali phos. 6x, in 
half a glass of water, and gave a teaspoonful every ten minutes for an hour, 
when the pain was much better; patient then slept until morning. Next 
night the pain returned; gave same remedy, but with no result. The next 
night gave Kali phos? 1 , and very soon the pain was relieved; continued 
Kali phos? 1 every two hours, a small powder dry for a week, and then four 
times a day for a month; once during that time he had a slight attack, which 
was soon stopped by putting one of the powders in a half glass of water, 
and giving a teaspoonful every ten minutes for awhile. A year has passed 
and there has been no return of the trouble. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

A lady, who had to be brought home from campmeeting, I found suffering 
with an intense pain down the sciatic nerve. There were some fever and 
extreme soreness to the touch or movement. She would cry out with pain 
from the slightest movement. Tongue was coated greenish-yellow. Gave 
Ferrum phos. 200 and Natrum sulph. 200 in water alternately. The next day 
she could move without much pain, and was able to shift herself from one 
side of the bed to the bed to the other. The third day she was able to sit- 
up, and was soon convalescent. (K- H. H.) 



SEPTICEMIA. — SKIN, DISEASES OF. 255. 

Sciatica cured hy Magnesia phos. A man who had been washing sheep 
had sciatica and could not lie down. All the sleep he got was in a chair,

Dr. H. Goullon reports in the Pop. Zeil. fur Horn., April, 1885, a case of 
sycosis cured by Calcarea sulph.*'; the case presented the yellow purulent 
conditions calling for this remedy. 

Dr. S. writes: Mrs. S., set. 24, of Regensburg, who had been suffering for 
several 3'ears from lichen, had used various well-known medicines, which 
had done her no good. I tried various remedies, and at last cured her. A 
few months ago she came again, and the lichen was worse than ever. My 
former remedy had no effect ; and with several others, Arsen., etc., it was 
no better. I gave her Calcarea sulph., night and morning, in quantities 
as large as a bean, and in a fortnight the cure was complete. (From 
Schiissler.) 

Case illustrative of the beneficial action of Calcarea sulph. in pemphigus 
foliaceus. — Allg. Horn. Zeit., 1882, p. 42. 

Julia C, set. 3, eruption all over the face and on the hands, which are 
kept covered to prevent scratching ; has been afflicted eight months and 
been under the best allopathic treatment without benefit. Gave her at first 
Kali mur.*', in solution. This remedy was continued for some time, but 
without much benefit, if any. Gave her then Calcarea phos. 6 in solution. 
This remedy produced a change for the better in a week, and it being con-

tinued cured the case in two months. The heat of the following summer 
seemed to produce a relapse, when the same remedy again cured it, and she 
Teniains well. (C. T. M.) 

Case of skin disease lasting for years, consisting of a recurring eruption 
•of fine red pimples, and, when very severe, the pimples run together, the 
•surface presenting a red swollen appearance, a strong alkaline fluid oozes 
•out copiously ; after this exudation the inflammation subsides, and the 
•cuticle comes off in fine scales. Eruption itches and stings intensely, and 
although formerly relieved by cold water, the irritation has become 
relieved lately by heat. He has also used Acetic acid, except on the face, 
which allayed the itching and redness. He has taken in the last year 
Fowler's solution of Arsenic, but without relief. The attacks are worse in 
the fall and spring, and the eruption is mostty on the face, arms and chest. 
Constipation is present. After using Kali sulph. a few days, commenced 
having boils and had a great many, after which the skin was better than it 
had been for } 7 ears ; bowels also better. 

In another case, a great deal worse, having lasted twenty-five years, the 
scaly eruption, mostly on arms, relieved by hot water, entirely disappeared, 
but returned a year after, when the same remedy in repeated doses of the 
30th, finally the 200th, brought relief. (C. Hg.) 

Kali mur. vi , given for gleet, the discharge having a milky appearance, 
produced no visible effects upon the flow, but increased very markedly 
the dandruff on the head, which fell in small white flakes over the coat- 
collar, accompanied by itching. (W. P. Wesselhceft, M. D. From Hg.) 

Lady, blonde, set. 20, fair skin ordinarily. Consulted the writer for ery- 
thema. For tw r o days cheeks were swollen, fiery-red, and burnt like fire, 
no itching, eruption or roughness. One dose Ferrum phos., M. M. {Swan). 
In thirty minutes the burning fiery redness w 7 as gone, and there was no 
return, the cure being perfect. (Boardman, London Homoeopathic World, 
1883.) 

Case which had suffered from effects of ivy poisoning {Rhus tox.) for 
•eight months. Was formerly treated by external remedies, but has repeat- 
edly broken out again with small, hard, herpetic vesicles, forming into a 
thin scab, with itching and some moisture. The eruption appears in the 
left axilla, about the neck and ou the backs of both hands. She has a sen- 
sation of faintness at stomach and befogged feeling in head, fearing to lose 
lier reason. Very vivid dreams. Sulphur, Rhus and Sepia had no bene- 
ficial effect. Two doses of Kali sulph?' 1 ., taken in water morning and even- 
ing for four days, cured the case in four w 7 eeks. (W. P. Wesselhoeft, M. D. 
From Hg. ) 

Case presenting the following symptoms: Bald spot as large as a silver 
■dollar on left side of the head. Hair falls out easily when combing, all 
over the head, also of beard. Came on after gonorrhoea a year ago, and 
has probably taken much potash. Lycop., Natrum mur., were of no avail 
during four or five months. After taking Kali sulph}' 1 , every third day a 
powder for three weeks, the hair ceased falling, and the bald spot is cov- 
ered with hair. (W. P. Wesselhceft. M. D. From Hg.)

looking, itches and bums in daytime only. The spots on forehead are much, 
worse when he takes off his hat. Not at all annoyed in the evening when 
warm, or at night. The entire eruption vanished in less than a fortnight, 
under Silieea. 30 (R. A. Cooper.) 

SLEEP, DISTURBANCES OF. 

Magnesia phos. — Sleeplessness after exhaustion or lack of 
brain nutrition. (J. C. Morgan.) Insomnia from nervousness, 
and emotions. 

Ferrum phos. — Insomnia from hyperaemic conditions. A 
beautiful hypnotic, but those who usually sleep well are kept 
awake by it. Restless at night, anxious dreams. Drowsiness 
in the afternoon. 

Kali mur. — Startled at the least noise. Somnolence, restless 
sleep. 

Kali phos. — Sleeplessness after worry, excitement, business 
troubles, and from nervous causes generally. Sleepless from 
overexertion. Often accompanied by irritability, great despon- 
dency and frequent urination. The true remedy restores nor- 
mal stimulating power in the gray nervous matter, and conse- 
quent contraction of the arteries, which diminish the flow of 
blood to the brain, and natural healthful sleep results. Some- 
times a course of this remedy is needed. Somnambulism of 
children requires a steady course of this remedy. Yawning, 
stretching and weariness. Constant dreaming of fire, robbers, 
of falling, of ghosts, etc. Night terrors of children, awaking 
from sound sleep, screaming with fright. Lascivious dreams. 
Twitching of muscles on falling asleep. 

Natrum phos. — Drowsy feeling, yet not sleepy. 

Kali sulph. — Very vivid dreams.

ture in the brain substance. Sleepiness, the natural amount 
of sleep is unrefreshing. Constant and excessive desire to sleep. 
Drowsiness, saliva dribbles from the mouth. Sleeplessness

Sleep restless and setting in late — frequent starting during 
sleep. 



SMALLPOX. 26l 

Natrum sulph. — Drowsiness often the precursor of jaundice, 
when there exist a grayish or brownish-green coated tongue 
and other bilious symptoms. Awakened by asthma. 

Calcarea fluor. — Vivid dreams, not unpleasant, but with 
sense of impending danger, death, of new scenes, places, etc. 

Calcarea phos. — Drowsiness in old people, with gloomy 
thoughts, hard to wake in morning, constant stretching and 
yawning, children cry out at night. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

" Mrs. C. says when she has a severe pain in back of neck and head, and 
;so nervous she could not allow any one to talk to her, could not lie still or 
sleep. One powder of Kali phos. would relieve her in a few minutes, and 
«he would sleep as if she had taken morphia, and would feel sleepy for the 
entire day and night following the dose." Dr. J. C. Nothingham, who 
prescribed the Kali phos., believes the symptoms were due to sexual ex- 
cesses. — Medical Advance. 

A gentleman, who has suffered from great sleeplessness, depression and 
occasional tendencies to suicidal mania, writes: I do not know how to thank 
you for the medicine you gave me ; it has done me so much good. I have 
taken the Kali phos. and occasional doses of Kali mur. very faithfully, and 
will continue to do so, as it keeps me right. (From Schiissler.) 

Mrs. W., set. 60, much sleeplessness with great nervous irritability and 
coldness of extremities for three mouths. She cannot keep them warm in 
any manner, coldness is subjective, but not objective. Nalrum mur. 6th 
trit., promptly cured the insomnia, "soothed her nerves," and cured the 
other symptoms. (J. C. Burnett, M. D.) 

I have treated many cases of that affection with Magnes. phos. 3X tr., 
where I suspected the cause to be of a nervous origin. Generally a good 
dose of that medicine in two or three tablespooufuls of water, teaspoonful 
doses every four or five minutes, overcome the difficulty after half a dozen 
teaspoonfuls have been taken. (E. A. de Cailhol, M. D.)

CLINICAL CASES. 
An actor, Mr. E., consulted me for a severe irritation in the throat, that 
interferred much with speech, aud on account of an exceedingly bad breath. 
This was especially disturbing, as he was obliged to appear in a role, three 
days later, in which proximity with his fellow actors was necessary. From 
an examination I concluded that it resulted from a deficiency of Kali phos., 
and so I ordered this remedy. On the evening of the second day Mr. E. 
informed me that he was fully recovered; of the foul breath there was not 
a trace to be perceived. He also stated that he was able to notice an im- 
provement even after the second dose. (Dr. Quesse.)

pathic Literature. 

A. R. V. G., a young lady. set. 18, had visited, along with her mother, in 
the past summer (1875), a hydropathic establishment. Without being ill, 
she had used the baths, even during her catamenia. Immediately after this 
she took violent spasms or cramps, which set iu daily and continued afte r 
having returned home A medical man was consulted, as the disease 
increased in spite of the different medicines she took. A second doctor 
was consulted, who quite agreed iu the diagnosis as well as the treatment 
adopted by his colleague. Injections of morphium, very strong and 
repeated several times daily, were the main remedies applied ; but the 
distressing ailment could not be removed ; on the contrary, the cramps 
increased in violence and frequency. The medical men in attendance 
finally declared that there was no chance of improvement until the patient 
would take some steel-baths in the spring. The parents were afraid that 
their daughter would not live to see the spring, and if she did, that she 
would not be fit to be removed. They, therefore, telegraphed requesting a 
visit from me. On the 6th of September last I saw the patient for the first 
time. I had known her formerly and was astonished to see, instead of 
the blooming, healthy girl she had been, a pale, emaciated figure whom 
I should not have recognized. During my presence she had an attack, 
her features were distorted, the eyes turned upward, froth came to the 
mouth, and then a fearful paroxysm of beating and striking with the 
hands and feet, such as I had never seen before. This was only the 
commencement. Suddenly the trunk of her body was contorted in an 
indescribable manner, the back of the head pressed deeply into the pillows, 
the feet forced against the foot of the bed, her chest and abdomen became 
arched like a bridge, drawn up almost half a yard. In this unnatural posi- 
tion she was suspended several seconds. Suddenly the whole body jerked 
upward with a bound, and the poor sufferer was tossed about for some 
seconds with her spine contracted. During the whole attack, which lasted 
several minutes, she was quite unconscious ; pinching and slapping had no 
effect, dashing cold water in the face or applying burnt feathers to the 



SPASMS, CONVULSIONS, ETC. 265 

nostrils was ineffectual, the pupils were quite insensible to the light- 
/gnat., which I ordered, had no effect ; Capr. met. acted better, but only 
temporarily ; Bellad., Ipec . and Pulsat. (the latter for suppressed cata- 
meuia'i were of no use. The attacks did not increase, neither did they 
decrease in the least degree. The morphium injections, too. were contin- 
ued at the desire of her friends. When at my visit on the 4th of October, 
the spasms came on again with such violence that the bedstead gave way. 
I consulted Schiissler's Therapy, and ordered Magnes. phos. After taking 
this remedy, on the 10th of October, the catamenia appeared, but her condi- 
tion otherwise was in no way changed. The spasms continued with the 
same violence. Then, remembering Schiissler's injunction to use Calcarea 
J>hos. where Magnes. phos., though indicated by the symptoms, proves 
ineffectual, I gave her Calcarea phos., on the 16th of October, a full dose 
every two hours. Immediately the spasms became less frequent. On the 
sixth day there was an attack, weak and of short duration. From this 
date she had peace till the 6th of November, the day of the return of the 
catamenia, which was preceded by a short slight attack. On the 14th of 
December I had a call from the young lady, looking well and blooming, 
who wished to consult me for a slight bronchial affection. She told me she 
-was entirely cured of her attacks, and at the beginning of December she 
Tiad been quite regular, without experiencing any inconvenience. (From 
Schiissler.) 

A very interesting case came under my treatment, which deserves the 
•attention of the profession. I was called to a lady advanced in years. She 
had been suffering for nearly five weeks from fearful attacks of convulsive 
spasms During the last twenty-four hours she had thirty attacks. The 
spasms darted through her body like an electric shock, so that she fell to 
the ground. The attack lasted a few minutes, after which she felt well 
enough, but rather exhausted. The sufferer did not venture to leave her 
bed now, afraid of being injured. She had been treated by her first doctor 
with Flor. zinci., Fowler's solution, and friction, but without success. 
When I saw the lady, I thought of trying Schiissler's functional remedies. 
Knowing that Magnes. phos., Kali phos. and Calcarea phos. are prescribed 
for allaying spasms, I chose the latter, Calcarea phos., under the circum- 
stances. Next day, to the astonishment of those about her, I found the old 
lady walking about the room. She met me with a smile, exclaiming, "Ah! 
Doctor, my spasms are cured." And so it was. She had uot another 
attack. (Dr. Fechtmaun. From Schiissler. ) 

Dr. F. , of Also, Hungary, reports: I was requested to go into the country 
to see a man who had been suffering the last three days from spasmodic, 
•convulsive sobbing. He was lying in bed. Subcutaneous injections of 
morphia, friction with chloroform and sinapisms (mustard poultices) were 
all of no use. Although the sobbing was mitigated for two or three hours, 
it returned with more violence than ever. I gave him a powder of Magnes. 
phos. in half a tumblerful of water. After the second tablespoonful the 
sobbing ceased altogether, to the astonishment of all those present. (From 
Schiissler.) 



266 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

SPINE, DISEASES OF. 

Kali mur. — Tabes dorsalis, wasting of the spinal cord. 

Kali phos. — Idiopathic softening of the spinal cord with 
molecular deadening of the nerve centres. "Spinal ansemia 
from exhausting diseases, such as diphtheria, reflex paraplegia, 
with laming pains aggravated by rest, but most manifest on 
beginning to move about." (Arndt.) 

Natrum phos. — Spinal ansemia. "Paralytic weakness of 
the lower extremities, with general prostration, heaviness and 
sensation of fatigue, especially after a short walk, or ascending 
steps, legs give way, so as to be unable to progress farther." 
(Arndt.) 

Calcarea phos. — Spinal ansemia. Spinal curvature, spinal, 
weakness. "Cramplike pain in the neck, pains and aches be- 
tween the scapulse, backache and pains in the lumbar region, 
curvature of spine in the lumbar region, abscess near the lumbar 
region, tabes mesenterica, rachitis, open fontanelles, flabby,, 
emaciated, shrunken children, disposition to furuncles and 
ulcers, peevish and fretful children, worse from bodily exertion, 
worse in the open air." (Arndt.) Inflammation proceeding 
from disease of the bony structure of spine. 

Calcarea fluor. — Spina ventosa. Spinal ansemia. 

Silicea. — When the bony structure of the spine is affected, 
myelitis, coccygodynia, spondylitis. Posterior spinal - sclerosis. 

SPINAL IRRITATION. 

Natrum mur. — Easily fatigued, weakness from slightest exer- 
tion, restlessness of limbs, pain in back and sensitiveness of 
spine. Sleepless, restless and weak. Headache on walking. 
Salty taste and repugnance to food. Vision becomes dim after 
reading, at times only half of object visible. Natrum mur. r 
in its first effect, stimulates the nervous system, causing mus- 
cular contractions very much like those induced by galvanism. 
It also increases the red corpuscles, glandular secretions, diges- 
tion, etc. It is from this stimulating action that salt is so. 



SPINAL IRRITATIONS. 267 

effective when applied locally with friction to weak muscles, etc. 
Later, however, Natrum mur. exhausts the nerves, diminishes 
glandular activity, and develops asthenia and anaemia with 
emaciation. The skin is dry, harsh and sallow ; mucous mem- 
branes are dry, cracked aud glazed, with smarting and rawness,, 
or with scanty, corroding discharges. Great complaints are 
made that the mouth is dry, when in reality^ the annoyance 
arises from the stickiness of the secretions; they are not nor- 
mally fluid. Now, from this atonic effect of salt, we observe 
spinal neurasthenia. The small of the back feels paralyzed, 
especially in the morning, on arising. Back feels as if broken. 
Legs weak, trembling ; worse in the morning. Feet heavy as- 
lead. With all this, it may readily occur that the bladder be- 
comes weak; troublesome dribbling of urine after a normal 
stool. And we may admit this vesicle symptom as a concomitant 
of spinal weakness, even though the prover had no such asso- 
ciation, because such a combination is quite in keeping with 
the genius of the remedy. We may regard both spinal and 
cystic atony as a part of a general tendency in salt to produce 
exhaustion, hence not a symptom of paralysis, but rather of 
neurasthenia. 

Silicea. — Spinal irritation alternating with offensive foot- 
sweat. Spinal irritation of children depending on worms (Natr. 
phos.), markedly aggravated at the time of the new moon. Spinal 
irritation with stiffness of nape of the neck and headache. 
Weak back and paralyzed feeling in lower extremities. Burn- 
ing in back, constant aching in centre of back. Coccyx pain- 
ful. Patient is very sensitive to the least noise, has rough and 
yellow finger-nails, icy-cold feet even in bed. Unhealthy skin,, 
every little injury suppurates. Feels better from warmth in 
general. 

Kali phos. — Neurasthenia, especially from sexual excess,, 
characterized by severe spinal irritation. 

Calcarea fluor. — Backache simulating spinal irritation, with 
weak, dragging, down-bearing pain. Bowels confined. 



268 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

SPERMATORRHOEA. 

Natrum phos. — Emissions every night, sexual desire almost 
gone. Semen thin, watery, smells like stale urine. In the 
provers it produced seminal emissions every night; at first 
there seemed to be erethism with lascivious dreams, but later 
emissions took place, one or two in a night, without any sensa- 
tion whatever. These were followed by weakness of the back 
and trembling of the knees, which felt as if they would give 
way. (Farrington.) 

Kali phos. — Nervousness growing out of excessive sexual 
excitement, whether indulged or suppressed. Impotency and 
nocturnal or other discharges with these nervous indications. 
(Nottingham.) Intense sexual desire. Painful emissions at 
night. Prostration and weak vision after coitus. 

Natrum mur. — Discharge of prostatic juice. Pollutions, 
followed by chilliness, lassitude and increased sexual desire. 
Impotence. 

Silicea. — Sexual erethism, with paralytic disease. Persistent 
•sexual thoughts; often nocturnal emissions. 

SPINAL MENINGITIS. 

Natrum sulph. — Violent pains in back of neck and head. 
Drawing back of the neck and spasms of the back, together 
with mental irritability and delirium. "In the spinal menin- 
gitis of to-day, if all the remedies in the Materia Medica were 
taken away from me and I were to have but one with which 
to treat that disease, I would take Natrum sidph., because it 
will modify the attack and save life in the majority of cases. 
It cuts short the disease surprisingly when it is the truly indi- 
cated remedy. The violent determination of blood to the head 
that we find in the disease, clinically, is readily relieved." (J. 
T. Kent.) 

SUNSTROKE. 

Natrum mur. — The pathological conditions of this affection 
arise from sudden abstraction of moisture in the tissues at the

discharge of offensive pus. 

Calcarea sulph. — In bubo to control suppuration (with 
Silicea). Chronic suppurating stage of syphilis. 

Calcarea fluor. — Chancres hard and indurated. 

CLINICAL. CASES. 
Chancroid ulcers surrounded by congested areola, grayish exudation cov- 
ering surface. Deep excavations, wider at bottom, painful micturition. 
Kali murf> every three hours. Improvement soon set in, the pain on urin- 
ating disappeared, and the ulcers rapidly healed. (F. A. Rockwith.)

without pain. Induration of the tongue, hardening after in- 
flammation. 

Magnesia phos. — Yellow, shiny coating, especially with 
pain in bowels and pressure in stomach. 

Note. — The coating of the tongue does not always wholly 
influence the choice of a remedy in all affections of the tissues. 
If any one, suffering from a chronic catarrh of the stomach, 
take also another (acute) disease, the coating of the tongue will 
not always have that peculiar appearance which will indicate 
the remedy suited to the acute disease. If any disease, particu- 
larly of a chronic nature, shows itself without decisive symp- 
toms, then the coating of the tongue will, in most cases, guide 
in the choice of an appropriate remedy. (Schiissler.) 

TONSILLITIS. 

Ferrum phos. — Tonsils red and inflamed, painful 011 swal- 
lowing. This remedy at first alone. 

Kali mur. — The second remedy, as soon as there is an)' swell- 
ing of the throat. Throat spotted white or gray. Chronic or 
acute tonsillitis with much swelling. 

Kali phos. — Tonsils large and sore, with white, solid deposit 
on them, like diphtheritic membrane. 

Natrum phos. — Catarrh of the tonsils with a golden-yellow 
tinged exudation, from an acid condition of the stomach. 
Chronic swelling of the tonsils. 

Calcarea phos. — Chronic swelling of the tonsils, causing

intercurrent. Husky voice. "In spongy hypertrophy of the 
tonsils in children, in the 2x trituration we have found a faith- 
ful and protracted use of the drug in many cases to produce a 
marked diminution in the size of the tonsils." (H. C. French, 
M. D.) 

Calcarea sulph. — Tonsillitis, last stage, when matter dis- 
charges or abscess forms. 



272 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Natrum mur. — Uvulitis ; here the mucous cells are the seat 
of the disease. Hence not Kali mur., but Natrum mur. is the 
remedy. Chronic enlargement of the tonsils has been cured, 
by the remedy in the 30th potency. 

Magnesia phos. — Tonsillitis worse right side. Throat very 
red and puffy. Patient is chilly and tired, head aches and is 
flushed. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

I have used Natrum mur. repeatedly, and especially in obstinate cases of 
salivation, with excellent results. One case in particular was cured with 
remarkable rapidity by this remedy. A young lady, set. 20, who suffered from 
severe inflammation of the tonsils, so that she could scarcely swallow milk or 
water, had received from me a preparation of mercury. The inflammation 
of the tonsils was reduced very quickly, but another evil set in — namely,, 
violent salivation. The gums were loosened, bleeding easily and standing 
back from the teeth, and the teeth were slackened. I thought of curing 
this affection also with Merem., with which I had often before succeeded in 
such cases, but by continuing this remedy the evil was only increased.. 
Now I ascertained from the patient that in the previous summer she had 
been ill at N., and the doctor had given her a good deal of calomel, which 
caused fearful and long-continued salivation. She was afraid the evil would 
again become very tedious, as it had been so bad at N. I now stopped the 
mercury and ordered Natrum mur., a dose the the size of a bean every two- 
hours. The success surpassed my most sanguine expectations. In twenty- 
four hours the swelling of the glands had distinctly diminished, and in 
three days a complete cure was effected. (From Schiissler.) 

Enlarged tonsils with partial deafness, by R. T. Cooper, M. D. J. D., set. 
5, a thin, delicate-looking boy, very tall for his age, for two years suffered 
from partial deafness, which has much increased since he came to South- 
ampton, two months since. His mother is frightened, fearing he is becom- 
ing incurably deaf. At first he would, or rather could, not allow me, from 
the excessive pain it occasioned, to examine his throat (he was then suffer- 
ing from an exacerbation) ; but it was evident, from the external swelling 
and the history, where the true cause of the dysecoia lay. The tale his. 
mother tells is that he was vaccinated when three years old, that after much 
constitutional disturbance, eruption subsided, leaving the tonsils in their 
present swollen condition. Symptoms are worse after coming in from open 
air and in damp weather. Calcarea phos. had an immediate beneficial effect, 
so that in three days throat could be examined. Both tonsils were swollen 
and red and formed an almost complete embankment between the mouth 
and throat. In three weeks hearing was quite restored and swelling sub- 
sided. — Monthly Homceopathic Review, September, 1867. 

Dr. W. had a severe attack of tonsillitis, involving both tonsils, which 
were very much enlarged, causing difficult and painful deglutition. Tem- 
perature, 102; pulse 130; patient exceedingly nervous. Gave Ferrum phos~ 



TOOTHACHE. 273 

6x, and Kali phos. 6x, in alternation, every fifteen minutes. Saw the patient 
in six hours and all symptoms were much worse, then gave Kali mur. 6x 
instead of Kali phos., continued Ferrum. The next morning found that 
the patient had passed a hard night. Then gave Ferrum phos. I2x and 
Kali mur. I2x. In six hours found the patient very much improved, less 
pain, less swelling, temperature ioo, pulse ioo ; continued the remedies, 
and in two days the patient was out, and suppuration did not take place. 
This was as truly a case of quiusy, which usually goes on to suppuration 
and runs a seven days' course, in spite of all we can do, as any case I ever 
saw. The aggravation caused by the remedies given in the 6x potency and 
the improvement which took place after their administration in the I2x 
were interesting facts. The patient remarked that he could feel the effects 
of the last remedies all through the body, quieting and soothing the ner- 
vous irritability, immediately after every dose. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

One evening a gentleman brought to my office his son, aged 8 or 10 years. 
As he stood before me, I noticed that he labored terribly in breathing, and 
that his chest was bowed out like a chicken's. I looked into his throat, 
and found both tonsils inflamed and so much enlarged that there was- 
scarcely space enough between them to insert a slip of writing paper. He 
was slightly feverish, and the tongue was coated white. I prepared some 
powders of Kali mur.' }W (B. & T.) and ordered them to be given dry every 
half hour for three hours, and then every hour through the night. The 
next morning, quite early, I called and to my astonishment found him sit- 
ting up in bed quite bright and breathing naturally. His chest had assumed 
a more normal form, and the tonsils were considerably diminished in size. 
The same remedy was continued through the next day, and the next morn- 
ing the little fellow met me in the parlor, comparatively well. (B. H. H.)

Case of polypus of left nostril cured by Calcarea phos. — Beebe, Trans. 
American Institute, 1886. 

Dr. Orth relates: Elizabeth F., a widow, aet. 70, consulted me on April 
5th, on account of an epithelioma seated on the right cheek, reaching from 
the lower eyelid to the nostril. It was almost circular, and about the size 
of a florin. The epithelioma had existed for some years, and was at the 
stage of forming an ulcer, with hard, base, and callous edges. I ordered 
Kali sulph., a powder every evening, and lint saturated with a lotion 
made of Kali sulph. for external application, to be changed frequently. On 
May 6th I noticed that the ulcer had visibly diminished, and on May 23d 
the ulcer had cicatrized to the size of a six-penny piece. A few days later 
the lady left to return home, and I regret I have not heard from her since. 
(From Schiissler.) 

Dr. Spiethoff, of Lubeck relates a prompt effect from Calcar. fluor* and 
Silicea. The patient was afflicted with a large sarcoma on the superior 
maxilla, giving the froglike appearance to the face. For eight months, 
old-school physicians had tried to establish suppuration, but failed, except 
to produce several fistulous openings, discharging a fetid, almost clear 
fluid. Without much hope of producing suppuration, Silicea^ was given. 
No change occurred for two weeks, except the appearance of two protuber- 
ances in the median line of the tumor. Calc.jHuor. 6 was now given, and 
the next day a profuse suppuration began, greatly ameliorating the case. 
The prompt action of the remedies was very striking. 

Dr. C. H. Thompson, of Santa Rosa, furnishes us a case of neuralgic node 
in the mammary gland, resembling scirrhus, entirely cured by Calcarea 
Jluor. 

William W., a factory worker, came to me on September the 4th. He 
suffered from epithelioma, which was situated on the right side of the nose, 



276 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

almost immediately below the corner of the eye, and about the size of a 
two-shilling piece. The eye itself seemed to be sympathetically affected, 
perhaps through the irritation of the discharge, which might have found its 
way into the eye from the edge of the eyelid, which, however, was not 
greatly destroyed. Be that as it may, there were conjunctivitis palpe- 
brarum and bulbi, with dulness of the cornea. The ulcer at the side of the 
nose had existed for four years. At first there was a slightly red spot, 
which was a little raised and swollen. Later on it became covered with sl 
horn}'' scab, which after a time fell off and left a little sore. This spread 
slowly but steadily. The patient had, during the whole time of its exis- 
tence consulted a great number of doctors. He had also been treated for 
two months by a specialist for the eye, after it had become implicated; but 
all without effect. Kali sulph. was now giveu him, a dose night and morn- 
ing; and externally a lotion of. Kali sulph. was used. After only a few days 
the inflammation disappeared. The ulcer began also to heal under the 
steady treatment. By the 8th of October the sore had cicatrized so that 
only a speck was left, when the patient was able to resume work again on 
the 9th of October. (From Schiissler.) 

A hard swelling under the chin, about the size of a pigeon's egg, disap- 
peared completely in about four weeks under the use of Calcarea fiuor- 
Both old and new school medicines had failed to cure. (Dr. F. From 
Schiissler.) 

Dr. Fuchs, of Regensburg, reports: In August, 1875, I cured a lady, aet. 
40, who had suffered for a considerable time from an effusion in bursa of 
the knee-cap. Twelve doses of Calcarea phos., two doses per diem, accord- 
ing to Dr. Schiissler, removed this chronic condition of housemaid's knee. 
(From Schiissler.) 

NasaIv Polypi. — Mrs. R. had nasal polypi in both nostrils, large, gray 
and bleeding easily. Calcarea phos} , a powder every morning for a week. 
The third week reported entirely free. The larger ones came away entirely; 
the smaller ones were absorbed. (J. G. Gilchrist.) 

Mui/tipi^e Chexoid, which appeared after the excision of a tumor, in the 
scar. It was excised at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, but rapidly returned 
and increased in size, till the patient, a girl, was put on Silicea 3 , night and 
morning. The gradual disappearance of the growth under this treatment 
was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen in medicine. — John H. 
Clarke, in Homoeopathic World, August, 1885. 

TYPHOID FEVER. 

Ferrum phos. — Typhoid, or gastric fever when commenc- 
ing; initiatory stage for chilliness. Typhoid, with extreme 
prostration ; frequent hemorrhage, indicating disorganization 
of the blood. 

Kali mur. — Typhoid or gastric fevers, for gray or white- 
coated tongue and looseness of the bowels, with light-yellow, 






TYPHOID FEVER. 277 

ochre-colored stools or flocculent evacuations, and for abdominal 
tenderness and swelling. 

Kali phos. — Typhoid or malignant symptoms, when affect- 
ing the brain, causing stupor during the course of the disease, 
or with symptoms of putrid blood. Debility, weak action of 
the heart, sleeplessness, offensive breath, putrid odor of stools, 
stupor. Sordes on the teeth. An excellent remedy in extreme 
vitiation of the blood, when the system seems full of typhoid 
poison and the disease is not located in any single organ. Offen- 
siveness of discharges is a very marked symptom for Kali phos. 

Kali sulph. — Typical, or gastric fever, with a rise of tem- 
perature at night and a fall in the morning. 

Natrum mur. — Typhoid or malignant conditions during the 
course of any fever, such as twitchings with great drowsiness, 
watery vomiting, sopor, parched tongue, etc. 

Calcarea phos. — After typhoid or gastric fevers as the dis- 
ease declines. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Typhoid fever iu young gentleman with a very active brain; a prominent 
symptom was that he became very hysterical, would cry like a child and 
sob whenever he became nervous. Ignatia, Hyosc, Stram. and Coffea, 
all failed to relieve. Kali phos. cured this symptom, and he received no 
other remedy throughout the fever. After the patient got up, the remedy 
seemed to act as a tonic. (Monroe.) 

The following, from the pen of Dr. A. P. Davis, of Dallas, Texas, appeared 
in the Southern Journal of Homoeopathy, and is of interest, since it illus- 
trates the value of these remedies in this disease: 

"The most rational course to pursue is to supply deficiencies, and to assist 
nature remove excesses. There is depression, perceptible in all cases of 
typhoid fever ; and as this depression is the result of molecular change, the 
molecules of several elements must receive our special attention. Whether 
this molecular change can be brought about by the use of Baptis., Rhus 
.tox., Bryon., Phos. ac, China, Cimicif., Ferrum phos., Natrum mur. or 
Natrum phos., or what not, is the question that demands special attention. 
Some have claimed success by the use of Baptis. tinct., others by Rhus 
tox., as their sheet anchor, giving incidental treatment as they thought 
symptoms called for, and some success has followed this method of pro- 
cedure. It is a conceded fact that the inflammation in the glands of Brun- 
ner and Peyer keep up the fever, and the remedy that cures these glands 
cuts short the disease, and the remedies that I have found to do this most 
•certainly are Ferrum phos. and Kali mur., given in alternation every hour 
^during fever, where there is a white or grayish coating on the tongue. The 



278 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Ferritin is the best fever remedy, and the Kali mur. the best eliminator 
in such conditions. If the tongue should become brown, give Kali phos. y 
and especially in those cases where the patient is delirious or nervous, and 
in the more malignant form of the disease. If the tongue assumes a yellow, 
shiny coating, then resort to Magnesia phos., and especially when there 
are pain in the bowels and a sensation of pressure in the stomach. If the 
tongue has a golden-yellow coating, creamy, moist, give Natrum phos~ 
Should the tongue have a dirty brownish-green coating, give Nalrum 
sulph. These remedies are especially indicated in this condition of the 
tongue. Last of all, when the patient begins to convalesce, finish up the 
treatment with Calcarea phos. as a connective tissue and blood-cell con- 
stituent is needed. In all cases where these tissue remedies have been 
used by me, they have proved abundantly sufficient, and will cure, if given 
as indicated. They supply the inorganic elements that are disturbed or 
lacking in all diseased states, and if a strict observance is had in their 
selection, the physician will certainly cure any diseases that can be cured 
at all. I usually give them the 4x to 6x potency, and while many may 
consider me dogmatic in the use of these remedies, I can see no reason as 
yet to change off into the intricate mazes of supposed pathogenetic prov- 
ings of polypharmacy. While I still use many polychrests, I lend a 
decided preference to the proper use of the Tissue Remedies where indi- 
cated." 

Miss Nettie W., set. 23. Was called in consultation, found the patient 
apparently in last stage of the disease, with the symptoms usual in such 
cases. As other remedies had been tried and she seemed sinking, I advised 
Kali phos. 6 , in solution. Under the use of this remedy she rallied, and it 
was continued some days, with the result that she ultimately recovered. 

Another similar case was given the same remedy when others seemed of 
no avail, with the same good result of producing a change for the better 
within a few hours, followed by recovery. (C. T. M.)

CLINICAL CASES. 

The following case, furnished by Dr. I. E. Nicholson, of Oakland, Cali- 
fornia, is so beautifully illustrative of the action of these remedies in typh- 
litis, that it is reported in full as furnished by the Doctor: 

" I was called on the morning of April 14th, 1887, to attend to Mr. E- K., 
a young man, aet. 22, with hereditary tendency to phthsis, pulmonalis, who 
resides in Connecticut, and was sojourning in our city for the benefit of his- 
health, and found him suffering with agonizing pain in the right iliac region. 
He had been attacked suddenly at 2 o'clock a. m. with this pain, and had 
vomited several times before I saw him. Upon examination I found a tumor 
in the right iliac fossa, so tender to the touch that he could not bear even 
the w r eight of the bed cloihing. His bowels had moved twice within a few 
hours. I learned that he had eaten of a mince pie at dinner the day before, 
and had passed a quantity of currant seeds in one of his movements. There 
could be no doubt as to the diagnosis— typhilitis — and that a currant seed 
was the casus mali. His temperature was 103 F., and pulse 120. For several 
inches around the tumor the belly was as hard as a rock, showing a great 
amount of infiltration. I at once gave him Ferrum phos. and Kali mur. 
(6x trit.) to be taken every half hour in alternation, day and night; poultices 
of flaxseed were kept constantly applied, as hot as could be borne, to alle- 
viate the pain. At the end of thirty-six hours his temperature had fallen 
to 100 F., and pulse to 90. This treatment was continued without intermis- 
sion, and the inflammatory symptoms steadily improved and the size of the 
tumor gradually lessened. At the end of a week the temperature and pulse 
became normal, the tumor had entirely disappeared, the belly was soft aud 
a mere trace of the tenderness remained. He took no other medicines. 
The result in this case is, I think, phenomenal, since in this class of cases 
the prognosis is always unfavorable, and the credit of the case can be clearly 
given to the Iron aud the Potash, the one removing the inflammation, the 
other causing the absorption of the infiltration, thus bringing about reso- 
lution and aborting perityphlitis and the consequent suppuration. Dr. 
Burdick, of Oakland, and Dr. Brigham, of San Francisco, were both called 
in consultation, and both agreed with me as to the disease, and both ac- 
quiesced in the treatment. We have no medicine which is the peer of 



28o THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

Ferrtim phos. as a fever remedy, whether idiopathic or symptomatic, and 
none better than Kali mur. to cause the absorption of infiltrations." 

Calcarea fluor. 3X rapidly absorbed an indurated and sensitive tumor, 
extending from the caecum to the lower border of the liver. 

ULCERS AND ULCERATIONS.

readily bleeding, with torpid, callous edges, fistulous ulcers, 
secreting a thin, fetid, ichorous, yellow fluid. Sluggish ulcers, 
in hard-worked and ill-fed people. Ulceration following abra- 
sion of the skin over the shin-bone. Use also locally, or in-

CLINICAL, CASES. 
A girl came into my office, who had sores on both legs, running a thin, 
ichorous secretion, red, angry and painful, which had been bothering her 
for four years, breaking out, then scabbing over, partially healing, then

taking on inflammation, so that sleep was disturbed; locomotion produced 
severe pains, in fact, the sores were seemingly very severe. I at once gave 
her Silicea 6x and Calcarea phos. 6x, three doses each per day, bound up the 
limbs with flannel roller bandage, and in four weeks all the sores were 
healed up and the patient well, cheerful and happy. (A. P. Davis, M. D. ) 

A. S., set. 16, for three years had indolent ulcers on lower half of left leg, 
which is red, very much swollen. Three fistulous ulcers secreting a thick, 
yellow pus and which have thrown off many splinters of bone. Pains prin- 
cipally at night. Emaciation, poor appetite. Frequent cough in morning, 
with thick, yellow expectoration, and considerable weakness in morning. 
Lungs normal. Calcarea fluor. 6x, morning and evening, for eight days, 
^alternating with intervals of four days without medicine. Cured in five 
months. Externally only glycerine. No enlargement of the limb was 
noticeable after six months. (Dr. Hansen, Allg. Med. Zeit.) 

In treating a chronic syphilitic ulcer, I observed a yellow coating on the 
-surface of the ulcer, which had the appearance of half-dried cream. After 
Natrum phos. the coating disappeared within four days, and the patient was 
•otherwise much improved. (C. Hg. ) 



URINARY DISORDERS.

URINARY DISORDERS. 283 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Case of incontinence of urine due to loss of muscular power, cured by 
Ferrunt phos. — Transactions American Institute, 1882, p 181. 

Dr. Schiissler, in a private communication to Dr. Zoeppritz, mentions the 
case of a lad to whom he had given, without effect, Ferrum phos . for enu- 
resis. A pustular eruption near the corners of the mouth appeared, for 
which he prescribed Natrum mur.. which cured both the eruption and the 
enuresis. 

Dr. Cornelius Oldenburg reports a case of spasmodic retention of the 
urine. No urine was at first excreted ; even the catheter failed to bring any 
away. Magnesia phos. was given, which relieved somewhat; some urine 
was passed. In five days, no permanent or decided results being obtained 
from this remedy, Schiissler' s advice was followed, and accordingly Cal- 
carea phos. was given, which cured in one day. Some two months later 
another attack came on, which was likewise immediately cured by Calcarea 
phos., for on the following day the patient was well. All. Horn. Zeit., 1885, 
p. 70. 

Dr. Criiwell reports on incontinence of urine: When I became acquainted 
with Dr. Schiissler's preparations I was very anxious to test the effects of 
Kali phos., as Dr. Schiissler recommends this against paralysis and paralytic 
conditions. Whoever has been occupied with the study of psychology is 
naturally ready to suspect paralysis everywhere. I acknowledge I may 
have given Kali phos. too frequently, as I was desirous to find out what it 
could do. For various reasons it led me to give it for incontiuencv. I gave 
it three or four times daily in a little water. In five cases, two of which I 
treated without good results, Kali phos. brought about amazingly rapid im- 
provement. With a young girl, aet. 7, I had until lately to repeat the rem- 
edy every time it was given up, as the incontinency always returned when 
it was discontinued. The most successful case was that of an old gentle- 
man, set. 60. No doubt in this case there existed a sub-paralytic condition 
of the sphincter muscle. Some months after treatment he called back to 
say that he was perfectly cured, but desired to have some of the powders, 
simply by way of precaution. (From Schiissler.) 

Lad, aet. 10, after Homoeopathic treatment had been unsuccessful, suffered 
with enuresis, urine pale, watery and very profuse. Ferrum phos. 6x, a 
powder in hot water three times daily, cured. (C. W. Hakes, M. D.) 

Incontinence of Urine.— Lady, aet. 35, had had trouble for three years, 
and could assign no cause thereto; was able to retain the urine at night but 
not in daytime, when she passed large quantities of water involuntarily. 
General health good. Ferrum phos. 3X, four times a day. A week later 
she reported that she could now retain the urine much better during the 
day. The medicine was continued for three weeks longer, when she in- 
formed me that the power over the bladder was now complete, and that 
she was better than she been for two years. Nine months afterwards the 
patient came to me again with a return of the malady; and, although she 
was then enceinte, Ferrum phos. again completely stopped the incontinence. 
(Wilde.) 



284 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

VACCINATION. 

Should any bad results show themselves Kali mur. will give 
entire satisfaction. (Schiissler.) If necessary follow with Silicea. 

VEINS, DISEASES OF. 

Calcarea fluor. — Varicose veins, varicose ulceration of the 
v^eins (as a lotion also). Sharp piercing pains, patients can not 
be on their feet. The chief remedy for varicose veins. Dr. 
Porter recommends this remedy in varicose veins about the 
vulva, and in distention of the ovarian and sub-ovarian plexus 
of veins. Differentiating Silicea from Calcarea fluor., he finds 
that the latter medicine has a greater affinity for muscular 
tissue, and has relief from cold, while Silicea is worse from cold. 
He quotes several symptoms from Farrington, indicating the 
fluoride of lime in affections of the lower tissues. Little vesi- 
cles form around scars ; lacerations of the cervix, with a con- 
siderable amount of scar- tissue. 

Ferrum phos. — Varicocele, with pain in testicles. This is a 
powerful vein remedy, though its action on the arteries is its 
prime sphere. It has cured a small aneurism and the great in- 
dication for it is throbbing. Varicose veins in young persons. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Youug man, aet. 18, complained of daily pain in left testicle, incapacitat- 
ing him for work. Examination showed a varicocele, well developed, prob- 
ably caused by constant heavy lifting. After five weeks' use of Ferrum 
phos , daily one dose, cured. (Dr. Mayer, Stuttgart.) 

VERTIGO. 

Ferrum phos. — Giddiness from rush of blood to the head, 
with flushing, throbbing or pressing pain. 

Kali phos. — Dizziness, swimming of the head, when from 
cerebral or nervous causes, and weakness, not gastric. Vertigo 
from anaemia. Vertigo, worse rising and looking up. 

Kali sulph. — Vertigo, especially on looking up and rising. 



VOMITING. 285 

Natrum sulph. — Giddiness, with bilious coating on the 
tongue, or bitter taste in the mouth; gastric derangement; 
excess of bile. Vertigo with inclination to fall on the right 
side. 

Natrum phos. — Giddiness with gastric derangements, acidity 
and want of appetite, gold-colored, creamy coating on the 
tongue. 

Magnesia phos. — Vertigo from optical defects. . 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Dr. E. B. Rankin, of Washington, D C, reports in the Southern Journal 
of 'Homoeopathy, April, 1886, a case of vertigo of several weeks' standing, 
accompanied by vomiting of acid substances, cured by Natrum phos. in one 
week. 

I have made but little use, as yet, of Dr. Schiissler's Kati phos., but have, 
notwithstanding, effected a few very interesting cures. 

A woman, set. 64, came under my treatment, who had been for many years 
treated without success. She had taken steel-baths, a great many steel-pills 
and drops and quinine. She complained of a severe vertigo, felt mostly on 
rising from a sitting position, and on looking upward. She was constantly 
in dread of falling, and did not venture to leave her room. I gave her all 
the usual remedies without any benefit. At last I gave her, in May, 1875, 
two doses daily of Dr. Schiissler's Kali phos. I had the pleasure of seeing 
a rapid and decided cure following this. The patient can attend to her do- 
mestic duties; she can go out alone, even to distances, and is almost com- 
pletely cured of her painful sensation of giddiness. (From Schiissler.) 

VOMITING. 

Silicea. — Child vomits as soon as it nurses. Vomiting in 
morning with chilliness. 

Ferrum phos. — Vomiting of blood, bright-red blood, with 
tendency to form a gelatinous mass. Vomiting of the food 
with sour fluids ; vomiting of food, the food returning undi- 
gested, sooner or later, after taking it.

Vomiting of curdled masses and acid fluids. Dark substance 



286 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

like coffee-grounds. Vomiting of watery, stringy, transparent 
mucus. 

Natrum phos. — Vomiting of sour, fluid, curdy masses with 
yellow, creamy coating of tongue. 

Natrum sulph. — Bilious vomiting, morning sickness and 
"bitter taste in the mouth. Vomiting of greenish matter. Con- 
stant nausea. 

Calcarea fluor. — Vomiting ot undigested food, if Ferrum 
phos. does not suffice. Vomiting during dentition. 

Calcarea phos. — Vomiting after cold water and ice-cream. 
Infants vomit often and easily and want to nurse all the time. 
Vomiting with teething troubles. 

CLINICAL CASES 

W. J. Martin, M.D., in the Tranasctions Penna. Horn. Med. Society, 1886, 
reports a case of persistent vomiting, accompanied by pain in the abdomen, 
cured by Magnes. phos} 2 after the ordinary Homoeopathic remedies had 
failed. 

A young girl about 18 consulted me (so writes a student of medicine) for 
painless vomiting, which had existed for a long time, and occurred after 
almost every meal. The color of her face and the visible mucous membranes 
were pale. Menstruation was scanty and delayed. No other symptoms of 
importance ; pregnancy was not present. I ordered Ferrum phos. 6x. 
After a time I accidently saw the patient again, and received the pleasing 
news that the vomiting had entirely disappeared from the commencement 
of the use of the remedy. {Monatsblaetter.)

Inflammatory catarrhal stage. 

Kali mur. — If there be white-coated tongue and a thick 
white expectoration ; short, spasmodic cough.

mon cold, convulsive fits of nervous cough, ending in a whoop. 
•Give this remedy steadily. 

Calcarea phos. — Whooping cough in weakly constitutions,

CLINICAL CASES. 

Child, aet. 18 mouths, in the last stage of whooping cough, with blistered 
lips and mouth ; black, thin, offensive stools five times a day ; hard and 
tympanitic abdomen; wasted to a shadow and given up to die by parents 
and physicians, got competely well from Kali sulph. (C. B. Knerr, M. D.) 

Case in which Kali sulph. was given for whooping cough, which imme- 
diately improved. The second day after taking the medicine he complained 
of stiff neck. The head is inclined toward the left, and the left shoulder 
raised. Great pain on moving head from side to side, or backward, but can 
move it forward without pain. This continued seven days. (W. P. Wes- 
selhoeft, M. D.) 

Magnes. phos. for Whooping Cough.— In the spring of 1881, when 
there was an epidemic of whooping cough amongst the children here, a 
little child, aet. 10 months, was given up by the family doctor. I heard 
this from the father of the child, who was in great grief He mentioned 
that the spasms, which occurred about ten times in the course of the day, 
were so severe that the little face became quite livid, blue and swollen. 
I at once gave Magnes. phos. One single powder moderated the spasms so 
forcibly that they returned only occasionally, and the attacks were quite 
-mild. Five days later I gave some Kali phos., but without beneficial 
• effect, then Calcarea phos., and it had no good effect, as the paroxysms 
grew only worse for want of Magnes. phos. I ordered it to be taken again ( 
rand in a very short time the spasms and whoop were gone, and the child 
recovered rapidly. (From the Rundschau.)

silver. "In young girls, if the menses do not appear, or when 
very scanty and at long intervals. Pain in the stomach, nausea,- 
vomiting of food, weakness and faint feeling, desire for sour 
things, aversion to meat, bread and cooked food. Twelve to 
thirty are the most useful potencies." (Sulzer.) Pressing to-

ity with acid secretions. 

Prolapsus Uteri. — With weak, sinking feeling worse after

Uterine Displacements. — With rheumatic pains. 

Calcarea phos. — Leucorrhcea. — As a constitutional tonic 
and intercurrent with the chief remedy. Discharge of albu- 
minous mucus. "In cases where menstruation is too early, too 
long-lasting and profuse, often -amounting to metrorrhagia, 
especially in slender and weakly women." (Mossa, Allg. Horn. 
Zeit., 1883.) Menses too early in young girls, too late in 
adults, especially rheumatic patients. Throbbing in genitals 
with voluptuous feelings.

pyogenic membrane or when a pus-bag is formed by rupture of 
an abscess wall without pus finding an outlet into the pelvic 
viscera. Patient pale and weak. (B. F. Betts, M. D.) 



DISEASES OF WOMEN. 29 1 

Natrum sulph. — Dysmenorrhcea with colic and chilliness, 
acrid menses, profuse with vesicular vulvitis. Nosebleed be- 
fore menses. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

B. S. Bailey, M. D., reports a case of meuorrhagia cured by Ferrum phos. 
3x. The case presented a history of profuse menstruation, the flow was de- 
pleting, no pain or local tenderness — in fact, no tangible symptoms, the 
condition of anaemia representing the cause in this case. — Clinique, 1886, 

p. 374- 

Dysmenorrhcea, menses late and scanty: Kali sulph., every four hours, 
cured permanently and completely. (W. M. Pratt, M. D., North Ameri- 
can Journal of Homoeopathy, 1883.) 

Doctor Phil. Porter reports a case of papillomatous erosion of the cervix 
with Calc.fluor. 6x, in which the local symptoms were accompanied by a 
dyscrasic condition, enlarged cervical glands, emaciation and weakness. 
His prescription was based upon the constitutional changes, the local con- 
ditions (the fissured appearance of the cervix), and an abundant yellowish 
leucorrhoea. — Hahnemannian Monthly. 

Case of dysmenorrhcea with neuroses, presenting recurring neurotic out- 
bursts, painful and intense. Intense suffering during menses, headache, 
etc., had had nearly every homoeopathic remedy, with no permanent relief. 
Kali phos. 6x cured. (D. B. Whittier, M. D., Trans. Mass. State Horn. 
Med. Society, 1886.) 

A lady called to see me just after a severe hemorrhage from the womb — 
in fact, ever}' time she menstruated she almost flooded to death. Upon 
examination I found the uterus hard and so largeTthat it completely filled 
the vagina ; this had doubtless been coming on for six years, since the 
birth of her child, as she complained of an increasing weight in that region 
all the time. I at once began to give her Calcarea fluor., a dose every 
four hours. This reduced the induration in four to six weeks to its natural 
size, and five years have passed and no return of the trouble. (A. P. Davis, 
M. D.) 

Mrs. W., two weeks pregnant, had been vomiting nearly everything that 
she had eaten for these two weeks. Only food was vomited, and that soon 
after eating. Gave Ferrum phos. i2x four times a day, a small powder dry. 
What I wish to say of the case is this: Mrs. W. has had four children, and 
with every one had commenced vomiting almost at the moment of concep- 
tion, and would continue all through pregnancy. The last four or five 
months of the time she would have to remain in bed, being so weak that 
she could not get about. She commenced the same way this time, but 
after giving the Ferrum phos. a few days the vomiting was very much con- 
trolled, and in a month had ceased entirely, and she went to term in 
splendid condition. While we cannot absolutely say that she would have 
been the same as at other times, yet it is natural to suppose that she would 
have. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

Mrs. K., aet. 38, suffered for many years from chronic peritonitis and 



292 THE TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES. 

ovaritis. She would have subacute attacks, which would last for several 
months, confining her to her bed or room; hardly would she be well of one 
attack before another would be induced by a cold or some slight over- 
exertion. Was nervous and much depressed. One evening was seized with 
very severe pain in the uterine and left ovarian regions, extending over the- 
whole abdomen, which was very sensitive to the slightest touch. Pulse, 
120; temperature, 104. Ferrum phos. I2x and Kali phos. I2x were given 
in water every fifteen minutes, in alternation for two hours, when the pains 
were somewhat less. The remedies were then given every hour for several 
days, until all pain and sensitiveness had gone. The patient was kept 
under treatment for two weeks longer, when she was obliged to go away. 
She gradually grew stronger and better, and now two years have passed, 
and she has never had the slightest sign of the trouble, which she had had 
for so many years, and is well and strong. (G. H. Martin, M D.) 

Miss B., aet. 20, had been suffering for the past two years with severe ova- 
ralgia at the menstrual period. She had been under the treatment of several 
physicians, and the only relief that they were abl-e to give her was by the 
use of Morphine, that being only temporary. We called late one night to 
see her and found her suffering with severe pain in the left ovary, of a dull, 
dragging character, and but slightly intermittent. Patient, hysterical and 
very excitable. Gave her Kali phos. 6x, in water every ten minutes, for 
half an hour, when patient went to sleep, not awaking until morning, 
when she was free from pain. Gave her Kali phos. 6x, night and morning, 
for a month ; at the next menstrual period was again called and found her 
suffering much as before. Gave Kali phos. I2x every ten minutes and after 
two doses was relieved. Gave Kali phos. I2x, once a day for a month, and 
now, after eighteen months, has had no more pain, and is feeling better in 
every way. (G. H. Martin, M. D.) 

Lady about 40, anteflexion of uterus with very peculiar nervous condi- 
tion. Very solicitous about health, weak, exhausted with slight effort. 
Irritable and easily displeased, which was unnatural to her. Had suffered 
many annoyances. Hyperaemia of the brain and hypersesthesia, which 
condition made her utterly miserable most of the time. Kali phos. 40X 
entirely cured. (Sarah N. Smith, New York.) 



WORMS. 

Ferrum phos. — Intestinal worms, predisposition to passing- 
undigested food. Thread- worms. 

Kali mur. — Small white thread- worms, causing itching at- 
tire aims; white tongue, give Natrum phos. in alternation. 

Calcarea fluor. — Itching at the anus as from pinworms. 

Natrum phos. — Intestinal, long, round, or thread- worms 
with characteristic symptoms of acidity, or picking of the nose, 
occasional squinting. Pain in the bowels, restless sleep. Itch- 



YELLOW FEVER. 293 

ing of the anus, especially at night in bed, face white about 
the mouth or nose. Grinding of the teeth in children. Pin- 
worms. This remedy probably acts by destroying the excess 
of lactic acid which seems to be necessary for the life of these 
worms. 

CLINICAL CASES. 

Natr. phos. a Worm Remedy. — Dr. Schiissler recommends this drug as 
efficient in verminous affections. Dr. A. C. Kimball, of Barteville Station, 
Neb., reports a case in his practice with the following results: The patient, 
a boy aged five years, had spasms and had been treated by several physi- 
cians without benefit. After using Natr. phos} for six weeks, three times 
a day, he passed four feet three inchs of tapeworm, much to the astonish- 
ment of all interested. This is the first recorded case of Natr. phos. pro- 
ducing such a result. It is believed that the entire worm was passed, there 
being no evidence of any remaining. Natr. phos. is especially efficient in 
cases of piuworms. 

YELLOW FEVER. 

Natrum sulph. — If it assumes the form of a severe bilious 
remittent fever, and there is excess of bile. Vomit greenish, 
yellow-brown, or black. 

Ferrum phos. — For the fever in alternation with the preced- 
ing. At the beginning of the attack. 

Kali phos. — For collapse and depressed vital forces. Also for 
deep green, bluish or black vomit and hemorrhages.
